Day Camps Around the State Cub Scout Day Camps are open to boys entering grades 1 through 5 in September* and are offered throughout the summer in various geographical areas of the state. This program, which runs Monday through Friday, offers a fun filled week of challenging Cub Scout activities, exciting adventures and new friendships. Opening ceremonies start the day at 9:00 AM and camp closes at 4:00 PM. Activities during the week include water activities, archery and BB shooting, sports, and crafts. Special events are also held throughout the week. *TIGER CUB PROGRAM Boys entering grade 1 in September 2010 may attend Day Camp as Tiger Cubs. Each Tiger Cub must be registered in the Boy Scouts of America and attend Day Camp with an adult partner. The Tiger Cub adult partner does not need to pay an additional fee. Registration for Day Camps Around the State is done on an individual family basis. If your son would like to attend with other boys from his pack, please check with other families in your pack to see which session you should register for. To ensure a successful Day Camp program for our Cub Scouts, volunteers are needed to staff program areas and guide the Cubs through each day's activities. Adults interested in volunteering as program staff or camp den leaders must complete the volunteer application that is available online as part of the registration process. Your son (one son) will receive a $95 discount off his Day Camp registration if you volunteer for the entire session. You must be selected to serve as a volunteer (you will be notified) and attend one of the two available day camp training sessions held on June 12 and 19, 2010 at Camp Carpenter (unless you attended a day camp training session last year). You will also be required to attend an orientation conducted by the Day Camp director of your session. Volunteer staff will be expected to assist with Day Camp set-up and take down. Please note that adults that volunteer as den leaders may not be in the same den (group) as their child. If you have multiple Cub Scout sons attending the same Day Camp session, you may only take the discount for one child. A special "Tag-A-Long" area is available, at no charge, for staff volunteers who need to bring their son’s non-Cub Scout siblings to camp. The area is staffed by a responsible adult and staff who have planned activities for the children. Tag-A-Longs must be at least two years old and potty-trained.
