Take the guess work out of what's needed to  keep boys, parents and leaders active this summer.  The district with the help of volunteers will conduct three activities to help Cub Scout Packs earn the Summer Time Pack Award and give youth an opportunity to  enjoy the summer doing scouting activities..  Detail information will be discussed at the May 13th Cub and Boy Scout Roundtable.   Unit leaders plan activities or participate in the ones listed below to help your unit stay active during the summer months.

Cub Scout Day Camp

 

Plans are underway for a terrific Cub Scout Twilight Camp.  This year's theme is "Antares 2008 Olympic Games."  Youth in grades 1 - 5 will enjoy Arts & Crafts, games, BB Guns, Ring Toss, Building Birdhouses, and relay games just to name a few of the activities that will be availabe for fun.  We would like to encourage leaders to inform and encourage parents of Twilight Camp June 9-12, 2008 cost will be $20.00 per youth on or before May 15, 2008 beginning May 16, 2008 cost per Cub Scout to attend Twilight Camp will be $30.00.  We will have three days of camp and the fourth day will be a Fun Day for the entire family with Olmpic competitions.

 

 

Summer Camp

 

Scoutmasters it is time to select a date and get funds into Council Office to hold a space for Summer Camp.  Boys join Scouting to go camping and this is the perfect time for boys to earn merit badges or complete merit badge requirements.  Summer camp will give boys that opportunity to experience a long time camping experience and to enjoy the great outdoors.  They will also learn tips on caring for the enviroment.   If your youth need funding please consider selling Scout Fair Tickets and participating in the Scout Fair to earn money to pay a portion of the cost to attend Summer Camp.   Also another way to help with funding will be through the Campership program sponsored through the Camping Department.  Call Kathy @ 713-756-3303 for detail information regarding Summer Camp.

 

Fall Recruitment

 

Opportunities to recruit new youth and parents into the Scouting program should be taking place now and throughout the summer.  Plan now by scheduling Council and district activities into your units calendar.
