How do I register for camp?

• Choose the Camp/Camps you wish to attend - You may attend one or more Camps.
• Complete the Cub Scout Day Camp/Twilight CAMPER Registration Form for each camp you plan to attend.
• Send the forms with your payment to either Service Center

Most camps have limited space and fill quickly. Camp is open to all boys, regardless of race, creed, color, or national origin. No boy will be denied the opportunity to attend Camp because of a physical or mental disability as long as his doctor has given him permission to attend. Your Camp Director must know about any special requirements before camp starts so that the staff can be prepared to provide the best possible experience.

How will I know if I can attend the camp(s) I choose?

Once your registration form and payment is received in the Council Service Center, a confirmation card will be sent to you by mail. This card will confirm the date and time of the camp(s) you are attending. It will also include the name and phone number of your Camp Director. Confirmation cards will not be mailed to participants who register within seven (7) days of the first day of camp.

What should I bring to camp?

• Hat
• Lightweight jacket or raingear if necessary
• Water botte/water
• Non-perishable sack lunch and drink each day. All campers (except Twilight camp)
• For special activities, boys may be asked to bring a specific item from home

Will I work on my Cub Scout rank?

Most Camp programs are based on a boy’s Cub Scout Rank. Many of the activities that are fun provide opportunities to qualify toward rank advancement and belt loops. These give campers a head start for advancement in their handbooks for their upcoming rank. The camp program focuses on age appropriate activities, so it is very important that we know what grade he will be entering in the fall of 2008. While at Camp, boys who are:

 

Entering 2nd Grade will work on Wolf

Entering 3rd Grade will work on Bear

Entering 4th Grade will work on Webelos I

Entering 5th Grade will work on Webelos II

STAFF/VOLUNTEERS

How can I as a parent help out?

Camp is staffed entirely by parents and volunteers. WE Need for YOU to be a part of the FUN! When you volunteer to be a chaperone, you will be asked to attend Staff Training. You can volunteer to help out by completing a Staff Registration form and sending it to the Council Service Center. The Camp Director will contact you with the details of camp. Volunteers who help during the entire camp wll receive a camp t-shirt. The Staff Training you receive is designed to provide the knowledge and skills you need to fullfil your duties as chaperone.
Packs should send one adult chaperone for every five Cub Scouts who attend Camp.

If a staff member attends Camp Staff Training, helps out every day/evening that Camp is held, & pays a registration fee for his/her son, he/she will receive a $25 Scout Shop gift certificate at the end of camp. Gift Certificates are good for merchandise at one of the Northeast Georgia Council Scout Shops, which are located in Lawrenceville and Jefferson. There is a limit of one gift certificate per boy and two per household.

If I volunteer, what do I do with my non-scout age children?
Most Camps have a special program (Tot-Lot) for the younger children of Staff volunteers. All children that stay in the Tot-Lot must be potty-trained. Some camps may require a small fee for Tot-Lot supplies. If a fee is required, it is due on the first day/evening of camp.

I still have questions, how can I get them answered?

Call the Council Service Center and you will be directed to the Camp Director of the camp in which you are interested.
