Get Ready For A Cub Scout Safari At Summer Day Camp!

2015_Daycamp_001_400

It’s time to register for Cub Scout Day Camp and this year, our Cub Scouts may go on safari!  “Cub Scout Safari” Day Camp will be held July 20th through July 24th from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. daily at Firestone Scout Reservation right here in Brea!

You won’t want your Scout to miss out on five full days of fun adventures and fellowship!   In the past few years, most dens have been able to complete between 25% – 45% of their rank advancement within this week.  Those scouts who do not attend camp miss out on several key experiences with their den, and often must spend the rest of the year trying to catch up on their requirements for advancement.

Firestone is a real Scout Camp, offering countless outdoor opportunities for exploration and discovery.  Your Cub Scout will enjoy activities such as Archery, Wood Working, Sports, Science, Cooking, Wildlife Conservation, and a variety of Scout Skills. 

The camp is run 100% by volunteers.  We will need parents to help with the dens and activities at camp.  Whether you can volunteer for the entire week, or just for a couple of days, we urge you to sign up to assist this terrific program.  In keeping with Scouting guidelines, we need to maintain a ratio of 1 adult per 4 kids every day.  Volunteering at Day Camp is a great way for parents to enjoy quality summertime fun with your children!

What does it cost?  It’s such a great deal!  Take a look:

$125 – If registration, medical form, and payment is received before June 15th.

$150 – If forms and payment are received after June 15th.

Reminder: Scouts who earned a camp credit for last year’s popcorn sales may apply it to the cost of Summer Day Camp (or any other camp this year)! 

One t-shirt per camper is included in the above pricing.  Add $10 per extra shirt if desired.

Payment can be turned in at the May 17th Pack Meeting or mailed to Jo Rivera.  Siblings are again welcome to attend sibling camp when their parent is at camp for only $5 a day, or $20 for the entire week. All payments can be submitted to Jo Rivera, or paid via our pack store.

Registration may be completed via our Pack 811 website.  Separate registrations must be submitted for each youth, sibling and adult attending.  To register, please click HERE.  Completed Medical Forms are required of every individual attendee (camper, volunteer, or sibling) and must be turned in with your payment.  Click HERE to complete, print out, and sign this form.  Please note the thorough completion of the Medical Form is CRITICAL to Day Camp attendance.  This is strictly enforced by the Portola District and Camp Director.

Summer Day Camp is Coming!

2014_Daycamp_001_400Hello Pack Families!  Summer is coming, and we all know that the highlight of the Cub Scout summer is Day Camp.  This year’s camp will be July 21st through July 25th at Firestone Scout Reservation.   How important is it for all Scouts to attend Day Camp? In the past few years, most dens have been able to complete between 25% – 45% of their rank advancement within this week.  Those scouts who do not attend camp can spend the rest of the year trying to catch up with the rest of the den. If you have never attended a day camp, you can see a summary presentation HERE.

The camp is run 100% by volunteers.  We will need parents to help with the dens and activities at camp.  While we do need a few to help the entire week, it is also helpful if you can just work 2-3 days. We need to maintain a ratio of 1 adult per 4 kids all week long.  The cost of the camp remains the best deal around for a full week-long camp:

$95 – If the scout sold at least 5 Scout-o-Rama ticket booksAND medical form and payment are turned in by May 5th.

$115 – If registration, medical form, and payment received by May 5th (and 5 SOR books were not sold)

$130 – If registration, medical form, and payment received after May 5th, but before June 18th

$150 – If forms and payment are received after June 18th.

One shirt is included in the above pricing.  Add $10 per extra shirt if desired. Payment can be turned in at the April pack meeting or mailed to Jo Rivera.  Siblings are again welcome to attend sibling camp when their parent is at camp for only $5 a day, or $20 for the entire week. All payments can be submitted to the event coordinator, or paid via our pack store.

As usual, registration this year is all done via our website.  A separate registration must be submitted for each youth and adult attending.  To register, please click HERE .

The only form that must be completed and turned in is the medical form.  Click HERE to complete, print out, and sign this form (one each for every youth and adult attendee). This should be turned in with your payment.

This is an event that every scout should attend.  If it is not possible to attend, however, please still RSVP on the registration form so your den leaders can plan accordingly.

Thank you,

Summer Day Camp Announced

Summer is right around the corner, and this summer our pack has decided to attend our own district’s day camp at nearby Firestone Scout Reservation.  Our boys will be able to experience camp in a real Scout Camp, and parents will still be able to enjoy a local destination to drop off and pick up their scouts during the week.

What is Day Camp?  Cub Day Camp is five full days of fun activities, advancement, and fellowship, and is one of the highlights of the Cub Scout Summer. This year’s theme is Exploring Your World and the camp will be held the week of July 25-29. Typical days run from 9:00 in the morning to 3:00 in the afternoon.

In addition to the fun activities had at previous years’ day camps, Firestone offers a BB-Gun rangefor those interested.  This is always a big hit for Cubs.  Other activities include: Archery, Wood Working, Sports Fun, Cooking, Wildlife Conservation, and a variety of Scout Skills.

The cost for five full days of scouting fun is only $130 per scout, however a discounted rate of $95 is available to those who participate in the Scout-O-Rama drive and turn in applications and fees by the April Pack Meeting.  Be sure to sign up now for the Scout-O-Rama drive in order to be eligible for this discount.

Note that many Tigers, Wolves, and Bears complete many of their rank achievements in this week of camp.  Attending camp will insure your scout is off to a great start towards his new rank.  Keep an eye out for applications and a sign up form that will be posted on-line in the next few weeks. 

Day Camp Update

Greetings Parents and Day Camp Volunteers!

Day Camp is just a few days away.  This year, Pack 811 will be the largest contingent at the camp.  Thank you to all of you parents who signed up to volunteer at camp — you are helping us demonstrate to others how seriously we take the Scouting ideal of Service.

Here some some essentials about camp:

Dress should include the camp T-shirt, shorts or jeanscomfortable closed-toed shoes, and a layer of sun screen.  A den hat is advisable.  We will be distributing the camp T-shirts at the Bike Rodeo this weekend.  Your Den Leader will have your shirts available the first day of camp for those who can’t make the Rodeo.

Check-in time is between 8:00 and 8:20. On Monday morning you will check in at the main camp tables, and on every other day you will sign in and out with your Den Leader.  DO NOT drop off or pick up your child without signing in or out — doing so will trigger a mandatory camp-wide search procedure.  Pick up time is between 3:15 and 3:30.  If your scout will be dropped off or picked up by another parent, they must have a signed release from you.  There will be no charge to enter Craig Park for drop off and pick up during the above times.  If you are late or early, you will be required to pay the entrance fee ($3) to drive into the park.  For those Volunteers who did not make the training sessions, you can pick up an all day parking pass from your den leader (you still need to enter and exit during the above times).

Everyone who attends camp should bring a sack lunch, water / Gatorade, and sun screen.  A camp chair or blanket is advisable.

Following are the parent volunteers acting as Den Leaders during the week.  Please look for them for the daily sign in and out:

  Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday
Tigers  Rox B / Lena Q Roz E / Vic G Elva P / Rox B Jeff M / Rox B  Carlos Q / Roz E 
Wolves Jim R / Jeff H Jeff H / Robin B Jim R / Matt C Amy H / Mari R Jim R / Shawn J
Bears  Patty D / Roz E  Patty D / Darlene R / Jim R  Patty D / Roz E Dean G / John D 

 

The Tiger den is looking for a rolling ice chest and wagon to use for the week.  Please contact Roz if you can provide one.   All others who signed up to volunteer can contact Margaret Palmer to sign up for one of the activity stations if you haven’t already done so.

See you Monday morning!
