Thank you to MIT/Lincoln Labs for sponsoring our Speaker Series. 
Dozens of business, community, and civic leaders are donating their time and expertise to support Base Camp Online through our virtual guest speaker program. These programs are free and almost limitless (200+ attendance cap), they are open to anyone. The experts will share their personal and professional story, their background, and a little about what it’s like to work in their field. The virtual classroom manager will take chat questions from the audience and the guest speaker will answer the questions.
If you are a professional and would be willing to volunteer and serve as a guest speaker, please email Mariama Sano at mariama.sano@scouting.org.
Each session is FREE but space is limited so be sure to register with us online. All sessions begin at 3:00pm unless otherwise noted. Click on the sessions below to register.
