Useful Documents

Note on printing PDF documents

Some of the documents here are in .PDF format.  If your Adobe acrobat reader is configured as a plug-in (so .pdf documents show up in the browser, not a separate Adobe reader program) then they may not  print (or preview) - all you get is a blank page.  If this is a problem, use the Adobe print button - the small picture of a printer right above the document - and not the browser print command (the one you get to by clicking 'File", then 'Print'.)

Forms and documents related to the YAG program.

A summary of the YMCA Adventure Guides program is found in this YMCA document.

Monthly Meetings

Every month, each circle meets at the house of one of the circle members. A typical monthly meeting is described here. A sample ritual to use at this meeting can be found here.

Registering for the program at the beginning of the year:

A registration form for the Southwest YMCA must be completed to join the YAG program. Here is the full brochure including registration form available as a PDF.  It is highly preferred that you use the orange colored version that you receive from your Circle Navigator in order to identify the registration as part of the Sierra Expedition.

A liability waiver for the Santa Clara YMCA must be signed in order to join the progam.   Here is the Santa Clara YMCA waiver as a PDF.

Additionally, a separate waiver for the San Francisco YMCA must be signed to attend the Jones Gulch campout.  Here is the San Francisco YMCA (Jones Gulch) waiver as PDF.
