THE 2020 PILGRIMAGE FOR YOUTH TOUR HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO THE COVID-19 VIRUS
We will be back in 2021 with an even bigger and better tour!!
IMPORTANT UPDATES FOR 2021:
- On May 15, 2020, the Pilgrimage for Youth Board met via zoom and decided to cancel the 2020 Pilgrimage Tour due to the Covid-19 virus. The Board set the dates for next year’s tour for June 29th - July 12th, 2021.
- The option for only attending for the one-week tour is no longer available.
- The cost for the tour remains the same for the 2021 tour: $2,000 per delegate and $1,600 per tour leader.
- The Board also waived the rule of one year in school remaining and the age requirement for those delegates that were sponsored for this year’s tour, therefore, making them eligible to attend next summer. This is a one-time consideration and will only apply to the delegates sponsored for the 2020 tour.
- The Pilgrimage for Youth Board has also increased the Scholarship for the Speech contest winners. The first-place winner will be awarded $2,000 and the runner-up will receive $1,000.
- 2021 delegate application forms and 2021 tour leader and staff applications must be used. Please discard and destroy all forms dated 2020 and before!
Applications and information will be sent to all jurisdictions and jurisdictional chairpersons via email.
