Cub Scout Day Camp 2008

Cub Scout Day Camps are offered throughout the summer in various geographical areas of the council. This program, which runs Monday through Friday, offers a fun-filled week of challenging Cub Scout activities, exciting adventures and new friendships. If you will be in the 1st – 5th Grade in the fall of 2008, join us for Day Camp this year as we celebrate with a space theme. Going to Cub Scout Day Camp together with friends from your own Den or Pack really increases the fun for everyone! Dens are formed according to age and school grade. If your child wants to be with a certain child or leader, please let us know by writing that information on the bottom of the registration form. In order to maximize fun for the boys, individual Packs are urged to coordinate their attendance at Day Camp, including recruitment of Day Camp leadership and transportation.

BE SURE TO REGISTER EARLY AS SPACE IS LIMITED!!
WALK-ONS WILL NOT BE GUARANTEED A T-SHIRT OR PROGRAM SUPPLIES,
SO DON’T MISS YOUR CHANCE SIGN UP NOW!!

Cub Scouts may participate in many types of activities which may include archery, arts and crafts, BB’s, field sports, nature, Scout skills, swimming and a variety of other events. All areas (especially archery, BB’s and swimming) place a special emphasis on safety procedures. Some of the above activities may not be conducted due to site limitations. Please visit our website @ www.mtcbsa.org for specific camp information. Cub Scout advancement is included in the program although we “disguise” it as part of the fun! Safe fun is the main goal of camp!

VOLUNTEER FOR STAFF

(You might even have fun yourself!)

To ensure a successful Day Camp program for our Cub Scouts, volunteers are needed at camp to assist the Staff and guide the Cubs through each day’s activities. The volunteer staff is comprised of a Camp Director, Program Director, Field Sports Director, Program Staff, Den Chaperones and Assistants, and additional support staff as needed. All these positions must be filled by volunteers. Day Camp can not happen without your help. We need new volunteers. Please complete a separate registration form for volunteers.

If you or someone you know would like to volunteer please contact your district executive.
