AS IN SOME OTHER COUNCILS, THE TALL PINE COUNCIL DISTRIBUTES
MATERIALS FROM BSA HEADQUARTERS NECESSARY FOR THE SCOUT'S WORK ON
THE EAGLE RANK AT OUR STAR SEMINARS. WE PROVIDE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR
SCOUTS, PARENTS, AND A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE TROOP TO ASK QUESTIONS,
THUS ASSURING THEY HAVE CURRENT INFORMATION. ATTENDANCE AT ONE OF
THESE SEMINARS IS VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE EAGLE
RANK CHANGE.
THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE WILL BE USED TO ATTEND THE STAR SEMINARS.
