Fall Cub Adventure Family Campout October 8-10 |
2010 Fall Cub Adventure Family Campout – Pony Express When: Oct 8 – 10, 2010 Hello Scouts! We are using the same location as last year. It is located west of Highway 279 between Centerton and Vaughn. Here are a few important things to know about Fall Cub Adventure: Cost: $15 per person or $30 for a family thru Sept 22nd, $20 per person or $40 per family from Sept 22nd – Oct. 2nd. After Oct 2nd, packs have to get special permission from Scout Office before attending. Pack registration fee: $50 non-refundable for 10 or more campers, scholarships available if needed. We are having a Chuck wagon dish cook-off. The dish is up to camper interpretation – keep in mind, if you want it judged, make it look appealing to the judges…J. We are continuing to use camp inspection to include volunteer hours as a tie break for camp inspections. Those hours include camp setup and Saturday activities (staff planning hours not included). Remember, we have Spirit , Volunteer, Best-in-Theme, and Midway game awards to hand out at campfire. Coleman and the Scout Shop are coming back this year. I’ve been told Coleman plans on bringing more heaters this fall. One final note, we will be asking for the packs to help with camp setup on Oct 5 or 6th, first aid shifts, and activity coverage on Saturday. Once the leader’s guide is posted, you will find a volunteer sheet included. The leader’s guide will be posted soon…..Thank you. |
