We are pursuing two Summer Camp options this year. Locally here in Haymarket is Cub World at Camp Snyder for all ranks and also Camp Tuckahoe in Pennsylvania for current Bear and Webelos I scouts only. The biggest two things to remember: (1) All scouts will be the next rank by summer, and (2) GO TO CAMP!!! Research has proven that boys who go to Cub Scout camp stay in scouting. They LOVE it!
We have chosen as a group, to coordinate the following camp sessions:
1. Adventure Days Day Camp at Cub World at Camp Snyder, DATES TBD, (ALL ranks)
2. 2 night/3 day Overnight Cub World at Camp Snyder, DATES TBD, (ALL ranks)
3. Webelos I Week Overnight Resident Camp at Camp Tuckahoe, PA, DATES TBD (current Bears eligible)
4. Webelos II Week Overnight Resident Camp at Camp Highroads, VA, DATES TBD (current Web I's eligible)
* Current Kindergartners can register for camp June 1st b/c that is when they can be registered as Tiger scouts, but will need an adult partner with them at all times (current Tigers, remember, will be wolves and do not require adult partners any more!)
Though it is not required for the higher ranks (specifically Webelos) for the overnight camps, it is our Pack policy and highly recommended that a parent attend along with their son. If it's absolutely not doable, then we can likely work around it, depending on the situation. The Webelos camp at Camp Tuckahoe is the exception, where the boys may be getting more ready to camp without Mom or Dad. You know your son best and should plan accordingly.
**Of course, you can register for ANY camp session (don't forget there is a Webelos advancment overnight camp at Snyder if you are not going to Tuckahoe).
Happy Camping!!
