Registration & Fees -- a Registration Fee (deposit) of $25 per

Camp Lottery & Refunds -- camping dates are assigned via a
lottery, which is held in December (we will be notified of our specific date by
12/31/07). If the date does not work with the Scout's schedule, the
deposit can refunded if requested by 5/1/08.
Medical Forms -- all Scouts and Adults must have the following
Medical Forms filled out and with them when they arrive at camp:
| Scouts: Class
II Medical Form (signed by a doctor) -- it's good for 3 years (cannot be
dated more than 3 years from the last day of camp), but must be accompanied
by a Class
I Medical Form (signed by parent) if the Class II Form is more than 1
year old. |
| Adult Leaders Under 40: same as for the Scouts. |
| Adult Leaders 40 & Older: Class
III Medical Form (signed by a doctor), and it must be done yearly. |
| "Visiting Leader" -- defined as an Adult that spends less
than 72 hours at camp: Class
I Medical Form (signed by the Adult). However, the Visiting Leader
cannot swim at camp (if you want to swim, you have to follow the "Adult
Leader" guidelines). |
Two-Deep Leadership:
Each Pack is responsible for the leadership of their own Scouts. We
must have at least one Adult older than 21 in camp at all times.
The Boy Scouts of America (and Cub Scouts) uses a Leadership Policy called
"Two-Deep Leadership", which means there should always be a
minimum of two adults and two Scouts together. In other words, an Adult
should never be alone with Scouts, expect a parent/guardian with their own son.
This policy is in effect at Webelos Camp. However, since each Pack
shares a campsite with other Packs, the entire campsite is considered as one
"pack" and "group leadership" is allowed. Leader's Guide -- all Adults that will be attending Webelos Camp
should review the following Leader's Guide prior to attending camp (click on
the link to open and view the document, right-click it to download it to
your PC): Webelos
Camp Leaders Guide (2008).

Parent Notes:
| Accommodations: Den will pitch camp-supplied tents (but it is OK to bring
your own tent if you wish) |
| We must carry our gear from the parking area to our campsites -- a Red
Wagon is good to have, it can be a pretty long walk |
| Be prepared for Raccoons in our campsite -- don't leave any food inside
your tent |
| See Suggested
Equipment List (page 14 in the Leaders Guide) |
| The Pack will cook our own meals for Wednesday dinner & Thursday lunch
-- see the Webelos Camp Leader's Guide for a suggested list of items to
bring |
| Discipline is the Pack Adult's responsibility (not the camps staff's) |
| There is a structured program (see Webelos Camp Leader's Guide for a
sample schedule), but the Pack will also have some free time to work on
Webelos Activity Badges |
