Cub Scout Day Camp - Join the Adventure! 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. Cub Scout Day Camp is for boys who will be in the 1st – 5th Grade in the fall of 2009. If your son will be in the 1st grade in the fall of 2009 he must have an adult partner (not considered volunteer) attend camp with him. Going to Cub Scout Day Camp together with friends from your own Den or Pack 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 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. Cub Scouts will 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. 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! 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!! http://www.minsitrails.com/camping/CubScout/DayCamp/default.asp Fall Membership Drive (School Night for Scouting) "Words to live by" will be this fall's theme for our annual membership drive. "Words to live by" is based around the twelve points of the scout law and how they help young men turn into productive citizens of our community. It's every leaders job to make sure we run a great fall membership campaign in order for us to impact as many new youth as possible. Please contact your local District Membership Chairperson or your District Executive to learn what you need to do in order to participate. September is the main recruitment time for all Packs, Troops and Crews to accept new participants. Don't miss out!
