Cub Scout Resident Camp

Dear Pack 108 Parents:

As mentioned at the pack meeting earlier this week, there are a number of options available for cub scout outdoor experiences this summer--the one I am organizing is Cub Scout Resident Camp.

I'd like to get a sense of the number of participants by late next week. As noted below, this is generally best approached as a parent-child experience. There are also some minimum adult leadership requirements noted below, so if you up for an adventure in the woods, this is your ticket.

If you could let me know your interest in having your son attend by next Saturday (and your interest as well), that would be great.

Look for other camping options, including day camp, coming your way shortly.

Best regards--and enjoy your spring break...

Ken

Cub Scout Resident Camp

What:
Cub Scout Resident Camp (4 days/3 nights)

Who:
All interested Cub Scouts. For those cub scouts who have attended day camp previously, this is a great opportunity. It might be “too much” for those who have either not been away from home before, or who have not taken part in the day camp offered in the St. Charles area.

Where:
Indian Mound Reservation, Oconomowoc, WI (120 minute drive from St. Charles. IMR has a Cub World camp with a lake, castle, pirate ship, mine and programming delivered by a full time camp staff.

Why:
To keep the ‘outing’ in scouting, and because it is fun.

When:
July 12 – July 15

How Much:
$120 ($110 per scout if paid by 4 April) and $45 per adult leader/parent

Payment Deadline:
April 4 for “early bird” deadline; 1 May for Pack 108 planning purposes

Leadership:
Organized by the Milwaukee County Council Boy Scouts of America.

Pack Leadership: 2 adults for first ten youth; one additional adult for each multiple of five cub scouts over the first ten (e.g. 11 cub scouts = 3 adults; 21 cub scouts = 5 adults, etc.) If your son has not spent time away from family in the past, I would recommend attending with him.

Ken King, Cubmaster, has committed to attending this activity with his den, and would welcome participation by other scouts and parents.
