Cub Day Camp - Service Opportunities for Boy Scouts (Special Registration closes Saturday, 5/19)

Posted on May 16 2018 - 9:53am

Cub Day Camp has two unique opportunities for Boy Scouts. Firstly, boys ages 14+ are eligible to volunteer at camp as Den Chiefs or in Program Areas. Secondly, Scouts ages 11-13 have the opportunity to earn merit badges by attending the Boy Scout Patrol (BSP). In order to be eligible for the BSP, Scouts do need to have a parent volunteering at camp. This is a great way for scouts to get some merit badges done with friends! Please see attached paper registration forms. The turn around time is very short. It just came to the director team's attention that some Troops hadn't received this information sooner. We apologize for the confusion and are opening registration back up just for the Troops.
