Important dates for Operation On Target
and the Kickoff Workshop
Traditionally,
Operation On Target is held on the third Saturday in July every year. We also
have the tradition of hosting an On Target Kickoff Workshop on the third
Saturday of May also. Units from any scout district in Utah are welcome to attend the
workshop. The two months between the
workshop and the actual event will give scouts and their leaders sufficient
time to construct mirrors and recruit a ham radio operator (Michael Taylor can
help with the ham recruiting). Attendance at the workshop is very helpful to
those leaders, both adults and youth, who have not participated in On Target
previously. At the workshop, scouts and scouters can learn about every aspect
of On Target and how to make it a marvelous experience for their units.
Everything from mirror-making to mountain-top experiences will be covered.

Additional notes:
- The purpose of the
Kickoff Workshop is to teach the leaders of units about On Target. They
will in turn go back and teach On Target to the boys in the units,
construct mirrors, and make preparations for the activity.
- The official signaling
time on the day of On Target is from 11 am to 2 pm, but signaling can and
will occur both before and after this time block.
- It is suggested that
units make this an overnight camp by hiking part-way up the mountain on
Friday afternoon and evening, and then continuing on up to the summit on
the Saturday morning.
