Daycamp requirments and helpful hints

Things to should know about camp:

  1. Every den or families may have there own carpooling plans so check with your den and other families to car pool.
  2. Here are things the scouts should bring:
  • Camp T-shirt – We will get the shirt to you on Monday, June 23; the t-shirt must be worn every day – it is worn for safety reasons: leaders can quickly identify anyone who should not be at the camp by a lack of the correct t-shirt
  • Camp water cup – We will get the cup to you at the same time as the t-shirt. There will be water at each activity station for the scouts to drink
  • 5-gallon bucket with lid – these are used to sit on and to carry the scout’s crafts and lunch – available at Home Depot for about $5 – be sure to get a lid
  • Bandana – Pack 1550 will provide a bandana to you
  • Closed-toe shoes – no Crocs; no sandals; wear your tennis shoes
  • Hat [Optional]
  • Rain Poncho[Optional]
  • Sack Lunch labeled with your name – The food you bring MUST BE NON-PERISHABLE; no mayonnaise, lunch meat, or anything that must be kept cool or refrigerated; bring peanut butter sandwiches or the packaged tuna lunch kits. It is recommended that you put it in a gallon sized freezer bag.
  • Non-carbonated drink for Lunch– you can freeze a Juice pouch (like Capri Sun) and put it in your supper bag
  • Sunscreen and bug spray
  • Money for trading post [Optional] – no more than $5 for the entire duration of camp

Click here to see it.  This is a 20mb file so if you are on dialup or have a slow internet connection this could take a while.

If you have any questions or would like the flash file let Robert Birkline know.

It's Graduation Time!

Cub scout graduation is quickly approaching and we want to make sure everyone is kept up to date.

Graduation will be at Spring Woods UMC on Sunday, May18th, from 3-5PM (should be shorter). We need adult volunteers and one scout from each den for the flag ceremonies.  See your Den leader for details.

Adult volunteers are needed to make programs handouts, make and bring deep dark red liquid, make wolf biscuits, buy/prepare/set-out refreshments, operate the Wolf-o-Matic, and escort scouts and parents.

Remember get with your den leader about open positions.  It is very important to have help so that the event can run smoothly.  Remember your leaders will be running the event and can't do everything.

For more detailed information see the calendar
