Lead Mentors/Instructors are the primary mentor for the team - the "Responsible Adult" that is the main point of contact. The Lead Mentor/Instructor should be available to answer any and all emails that may come from competition coordinators. Except for extremely rare cases with EXPLORER class teams, the Lead Mentor should NOT be an active student team participant. 

All participating students MUST have registration completed and all waivers signed by the registration deadline to participate. If you have students without internet access, print the appropriate waiver pages, send to the student's parent/guardian to complete. Once you have received the completed, signed copies, it is the lead mentor's responsibility to complete the student's registration process in Active on behalf of the parent/guardian without internet access. Copies of the signed proxy and waiver forms must be scanned and e-mailed or snail-mailed to your regional coordinator. There is no need to do this for all students - just those whose parents do not have access to the internet.

Please note that throughout the team creation process you will be called the "Team Captain" - this is okay - to competition officials, we will know you are the primary mentor. However, your team will still need to identify a participating student to serve as the "Company CEO", but that is not required when registering your team. 

Each competition class (SCOUT, NAVIGATOR, RANGER, PIONEER, and EXPLORER) has a different Team Creation registration portal. You will need to register your team in the appropriate competition class.
