It is recommended that units approve the use of government meals as students will have access to the installation DFACs during the classroom portion of the Scout Leader Course. Students using the DFACs will need to show their military ID (CAC) and DD Form 1610 at the register. Supporting DFACs will be covered during in-processing (Day 1) as conditions change.
