Pack Volunteer Positions
As Webelos move onto Boy Scouts the parents leave too. Each year we
need a new batch of Wolf and Bear parents to step up to the plate to
fill our volunteer positions. Please contact Ellen Caprio if you
can help. Remember if you don't do it and no one else does it,
we will simply have less activities for the boys. So please
don't wait for someone else to step up. We need you!

Resident Camp
Dates: July 9-12, 2008
Location: Mataguay Scout Ranch
Event Leader: Dave England
Has your son always wanted to earn that
Archery or BB gun Belt Loop? Resident Camp is the location where
these can be earned. Resident Camp is a camp where boys are led
by Boy Scout staff in different activities which include:
canoeing, swimming, archery, BB-guns, crafts and games.
“Our CAMP ACTIVITIES emphasize the outdoors, and are designed
with each Scout’s age, rank, and skill in mind. Hiking, fishing,
boating and aquatics resources are all offered. Archery and BB
gun ranges are active for Sport Belt Loop and Sport Pin work, as
well as for free shoot. We also offer Scout Skills and Wolf,
Bear, and Webelos activities that lead toward rank advancement.”
While all Cub Scouts can attend, this camp is probably best
suited for Webelos since parent attendance is limited. The
facility cannot support all our boys and their parents and so a
ratio of 4:1 is recommended.
Mike Jones, Sandy Williams and Dave England will be attending.
Most of the boys from the Dragon den will be attending. Other
boys who wish to attend may do so if we get parents who are
willing to supervise and chaperone them for all 4 days of camp
and transport them to Mataguay.
More information can be found on the
council
website.
Please contact if you are interested. I will need a
commitment and payment of $130 by April 20th as the camp fills
quickly.

 Weblos
Only Campout Camp Balboa
July 25-27, 2008
Like to
campout? Like to earn patches? Do you like to shoot arrows and
BBguns? Then join us for a Webelos Only Campout on July 25th –
27th at Camp Balboa. Keep in mind that by July, Bears will be
Webelos scouts so they are able to attend this event.
This campout
will provide the opportunity for boys to do Archery, Air Rifle
(BB Guns), Knots, Compass, Campfire, Swimming, and Hiking
Activity Arcs as well as complete Outdoorsman and Aquanaut
badges. Camp Balboa offers a special patch program called the
ARC program.
http://www.sdicbsa.org/camping/balboa/activityarcs.asp
Friday dinner
will be Pizza or would you prefer Wampum? How about both? Yum!
Saturday dinner will foil dinners cooked by the boys. Breakfast
on Saturday and Sunday will be omelets, bagels and muffins
prepared by the boys. Are you seeing a trend yet? The boys will
also setup their own tents, start the campfire using flint and
perform a service project. The goal of empowering the boys is to
prepare them for Boy Scouts.
Cost is
estimated to be around $35/boy ($15 for camping & food and $20
for patches & usage fees), the actual cost is dependant on how
many ARC’s each boy earns. I estimate that they could earn as
many as 30 in one weekend. We will need at least 1 adult leader
from each den. The adult fee is only $15/adult and Den Chiefs
are free and needed!
We have
reserved a site at Camp Balboa for 25 campers and I expect us to
fill this. If we can get a total headcount quickly we might be
able to reserve a larger campsite if one is available.
Otherwise, first come first served.
Please Contact and pay a $15 deposit if you would like to
signup your son.
