Young Eagles only requires $500,000 liability insurance.

Last I knew none was required for Young Eagles as the EAA provides
insurance for "Young Eagles" events.

The BSA has an aviation badge, but they officially will not
participate in flying. OTOH we've never had a problem with them doing
the aviation education part (Ground school/aviation camp) and then
doing the flight as an individual.

We hold two aviation camps every summer. At the end of the camp
they do a flight plan and then flying the route. The pilots do the
take offs and landings, but once at altitude we coach the kids at
straight and level as well as making gentle, level turns. Their
flight plan is a relatively short, triangular cross country from the
origin, to two other airports and back home. Depending on the planes
it takes about a half hour to an hour.

We also host a "Kids to Oshkosh" event which is not Young Eagles
related. EAA Chapter 1093 ( http://www.rogerhalstead.com/1093News.htm
flys three kids to Oshlosh (Air Venture) for a day. The receive a
guided tour of the grounds, the museum, and the flight line. They all
receive a year's membership in the EAA and flight line passes for the
day. Typically they leave 3BS at 7:00 AM and return after the air
show which gets them home around 9:30 PM.

some point you may be interested in participating in a Young Eagles
event, that participation would be greatly appreciated... but I want
to make it clear that the purpose of this proposed "breakfast flyin"
is NOT to wrangle Young Eagle event pilots. The goal is to help
re-establish EAA 12 and give it an identity in the region, and to help
make the aviation scene at EFD more social and enjoyable.

Good luck on the event. I hope EAA 12 gets revitalized.
