Day Camp Sign Up is Now On-Line!

Greetings Pack 811 Families,

Summer Day Camp Sign Ups are now on-line.  As we’ve talked about at the pack meetings, this year’s camp will be with the Portolo District at Firestone Scout Camp.  Summer camp is the highlight of a Cub Scout’s summer – providing 5 full days of fun and opportunities for rank advancement.  As usual, we will need to provide adult volunteers in the ratio of 1:4 for each of the 5 days.

Please Sign Up Now!

You will need to register on our site HERE. On the same page you can download the registration forms for your scout(s) and yourself.

On the registration forms, be sure to “Portola 7/25-29′, and the rank your scout will be in the summer time (which is one rank higher than he is currently).  Please submit these forms with payment to me (Jim Remley) on or before May 9th.

The payment amount should be:

$95 – IF the scout worked a two hour shift selling Scout O Rama tickets or sold 6 or more on his own, AND forms and payment are turned in by May 9th.

$115 – IF forms and payment are received by the 9th, and the your scout did not participate in Scout O Rama sales.

$130 – IF forms and payment are received after May 9.

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

Be sure to jump on the opportunity as soon as possible.  Please contact me with any questions.

Yours in Scouting,

Jim Remley

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 jeans, comfortable 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!

Day Camp is Coming!

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 Cub Scout Safari and the camp will be held at nearby Craig Park the week of July 19 – 23. Typical days run from 9:00 in the morning to 3:00 in the afternoon.

Just some of the activities planned for this year include :  Archery, Wood Working (including a catapult!), Fishing, Sports Fun, Cooking, Wildlife Conservation, and a variety of Scout Skills (including rope activities, maps, and first aid).

The cost is $120 for the entire week, however, applications and fees turned in by May 14th will receive a discounted cost of only $78 !

Brothers and sisters of scouts may also attend the camp for only $5 per day or $20 for the whole week.  Note that these siblings may only attend with their parents.  Parents are essential to the program – we need to maintain a minimum of 1 adult per 4 campers.   We will need most families to provide an adult for at least one of the 5 days.  Don’t worry, parents have fun at Day Camp too!

Please sign up as soon as possible on THIS PAGE (you will need to log in) so we can insure adequate supervision.  You will also find the application forms on the same page (Note that we will be attending the “Los Amigos” day camp).  Forms and payment can be turned into your den leader, Peter Toller, or dropped in the Scout mailbox in the SAM School office.   Be sure to take advantage of this fun opportunity right away!
