PARENT PORTAL TUTORIALS
Unit leaders can set up registrations in the online registration system (aka, “Black Pug” or “scoutingevent.com”), but they can also set it up so that parents can register and pay for their individual registrations via the Parent Portal. The following videos help explain that process.

PLEASE READ:Â IMPORTANT UPDATE
Dear MCC Leaders & Families:
On Thursday April 29, 2021 the State of Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) informed the Michigan Crossroads Council (MCC) that all persons over the age of 21 that are attending any of our Resident Camps for the 2022 camping season are required to submit a new DHS Registry Clearance Request and will be required to do so annually.
The State of Michigan has updated the DHS Request Form, which can be found here.
Instructions:
- All persons over the age of 21 that are attending any MCC Resident Camp this summer are required to complete – and submit to the State – a NEW DHS Central Registry Clearance Request Form
- Requests must be made on the new form, which can be found by using the link provided above
- Requests must be mailed, faxed, or EMAILED to the provided address, phone number, or link
- The State of Michigan and the MCC are STRONGLY ENCOURAGING all persons to use the EMAIL option, as the turnaround time to receive your new Clearance Letter is much more expedited
- When submitting your request, the State of Michigan and the MCC are also STRONGLY ENCOURAGING that persons request that the results be EMAILED to them – again expediting the return process
- All persons over the age of 21 will be asked to submit a copy of their NEW Clearance Letter (dated 2021) to the camp they will be attending during the check-in process – failure to comply will result in your adults not being admitted into camp.
The safety of our Scouts has always been a top priority for both the Michigan Crossroads Council and the State of Michigan. Regular updates of the DHS Registry and individual background checks help to ensure that your campers are safe while attending camp.
If you have further questions on this process, please reach out to your Camp Director.
Thank you for your cooperation and assistance.
