Campership (scholarships)

Day Camp Volunteers

PLEASE, PLEASE consider volunteering at Camp.  The only way the Pack can send our scouts is to have a 3:1 ratio of adult volunteers to scouts.  If 9 scouts want to attend, we are required to send three adults for the entire week.  Parents can split up the week (one covering M, W, F with the other covering T, Th, etc)., or apply for a few days. We will need parents for parking, den walkers, workshops, and more. Parents volunteering for the full 4 days of camp receive a $20 discount for 1 scout attending.
