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 20^th through July 24^th 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 15^th.

$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 17^th 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.

Thank you,

Greetings Pack 811 Families,

Summer Day Camp Sign Ups are now on-line.  Because so many of our boys had a great time last year and were able to complete the majority of their rank, once again we will camp 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 7/23-27′, and the rank your scout will be in the summer time (which is one rank higher than he is currently).  DO NOT CHECK which days you will be volunteering — you will record this information on our on-line sign up form. Please also record your shirt size no matter how many days you are volunteering. Please submit these forms with payment to Amy Hinz on or before May 4th.

The payment amount should be:

$95 – If your family sold at least one book of Scout O Rama tickets, AND forms and payment are turned in by May 4th. That’s less than $20 a day for the most fun your son will have this summer.

$115 – If forms and payment are received by the 4th, and the you did not purchase or sell a Scout O Rama book.

$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. Checks should be made out to “Pack 811”.

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

Yours in Scouting,

Jim Remley

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.
