RULES:
1. Not more than six participants can work on a single scrapbook nor can students participate in more than one scrapbook each. Scrapbooks are graded according to the grade level of the oldest participant.
2. In order for there to be any Significant Historical Value to your scrapbook – names and location of events need to be included into the scrapbook. (For instance: With a picture of Camp, you would probably want to include the names of the campers and where the camp was held. Otherwise, in years to come, no one will remember!) The focus should be the event – tell what took place, why you were doing what you were
doing, what benefits did you or others receive, etc.
3. There are two grade categories for this event:
a. Grades 3 – 6
b. Grades 7 – 12
4. The following information must be on the first page of the scrapbook:
LTC Team Number
Name of the congregation
Grade category
Name, LTC Identification Number, and Grade of each participant
Name of adult advisors).
