How do I register for camp?

• Choose the Camp/Camps you wish to attend – You may attend more than one Day/Twilight Camp
• Complete a Cub Scout Day Camp/Twilight CAMPER Registration form for each camp you plan to attend
• Complete the Health and Medical Form #34605 Parts A and C
• Attach a copy of your insurance card (both front and back) to Health and Medical Form Part C

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, Health and Medical Form and payment is received in the Council Service Center, a confirmation will be sent to you by mail or email. It 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 bottle/water
• Non-perishable sack lunch and drink each day. (Not required for Twilight campers)
• For special activities, boys may be asked to bring a specific item from home
• Any required medication must be checked in with the Health Office upon arrival to camp. All medications must be in the original container, marked clearly with the patient's name and dosage and be noted on the health form.

Put your name on everything that comes to Camp - including lunch!

What should I not bring to camp?

What should I wear to camp Every Day?

• Camp T-shirt (campers will be given Camp t-shirt on the first day/evening of camp) Be sure to order extra t-shirts
• Shorts • Socks • Closed-toed shoes (no sandals or flip flops) • Sunscreen

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 2011.

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

I'm just a parent - How can I help?

Camp is staffed entirely by parents and volunteers. WE Need 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 the Staff Registration form found on page 12 and the Health and Medical Form #34605 Parts A and C on pages 13-14 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 will receive a camp t-shirt. The Staff Training you receive is designed to provide the knowledge and skills you need to fulfill your duties as a chaperone.

Packs should send at least one adult chaperone for every five Cub Scouts who attend Camp.

If a staff member attends Camp Staff Training, helps out every day that Camp is held, and 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 pottytrained. 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. Check out the Northeast Georgia Council Website.
