2025 Winter Court of Honor

Location: Lakeview Senior Center (20 Lake Rd, Irvine 92604). [Google Maps]

Date: November 16th, 2025 (Sunday) 

Time: 5.00pm (Scout Rehearsal and Setup); Start - 5.30pm

It's that time of the year again! We will be having our Fall 2025 Court of Honor. This is primarily a scout run ceremony where we will recognize scout achievements (rank advancements, merit badges, and awards) since the last CoH (generally held twice a year).

A few other things:

-Uniform

Scouts: please wear full Class A uniform with neckerchiefs and sliders, sashes, and patches with closed toed shoes.

Parents: If you have a uniform, please look to wear it.

-Rehearsal and setup

Scouts and those parents who can help with setup, please arrive at 5:00pm. We will have access to the facility at that time. Do not enter the facility before our reserved time (5.00pm).

-Potluck Dinner

Please see below for food allocations. Last time we had about the right amount of food so if we can use that as a baseline that would be great (we should be looking at having roughly 100 people there).

Last Name A-G and W-Y: Fruits, Salads, and Desserts

All Others: Main Courses

I will prepare water, individual forks and spoons, and plates.

Please fill out the signup sheet below (if you are bringing guests, place # in others).

On the potluck page, please enter an item and type to avoid duplication and balance protein/carbs.

No soda. No access to the kitchen. Bring serving utensils (not individual) for your particular items.

-Rank Advancements and Merit Badges (+Award) Submissions and Deadlines

      More information to follow soon. Deadline will likely be 9th or 10th of Nov (in a couple weeks), but please submit as soon as possible (see email from Kavitha sent on Oct 12th for instructions) to avoid our scramble near the event. 

     Please understand that we will be exceptionally pressed for time, so for any late submissions the scout will get their award in the following CoH.

-Historians

Start to prepare the Historian Presentation if you have not started already

Please try to take pictures at the CoH when possible and upload to album
