The workbooks

Built like a field journal

Each workbook looks and feels like a rugged field journal, made to go in a pack and come home dirty.

By 18, a youth who finishes the program has three of them: a record of seven years of campouts, service, goals and testimony, mostly in their own handwriting.

Inside every workbook

  • Requirements for all seven pillars
  • Personal reflections
  • Campout logs
  • Service records
  • Leadership experiences
  • Goal-setting pages
  • Journal and testimony entries
  • A pocket for the stage's Compass Coin
