2012 Spring Family Camp

UPDATED -   Camping weekend is here!

May 18 - 19  Pack 95 is again co-hosting the Family Camp at the Phillipo scout reservation near Cannon Falls.  We are hosting cub scouts from SSP & IGH Cub Scout Packs.  Family camp is a family friendly way to introduce cubs to camping and kick off the camping season.  The cost is $25 per family.

We will be camping in the Grey Brothers area of Phillipo camp,  near the Baden Powell shelter. Every Family needs the following items:

  • Scout uniform, hiking or athletic close toe shoes, Jeans, shorts, rain gear etc. (Forecast: AWESOME - Hot Friday, warm with possible showers late saturday) We go rain or shine.
  • A tent and sleeping bags or bedding
  • Health forms with a permission form for shooting sports (bb guns and archery) 
  • Campfire goodies
  • And all the other stuff, flashlights, Rain Gear, Bug Spray, etc.  See the full list in the Forms section. (Link is fixed!)

Our program is simple. Arrive around 5:00 pm (Dinner already eaten), set up your tent. We will have a campfire Friday at 7:00 p.m. rain or shine (that’s what the cabin is for). Activities Saturday morning will include shooting sports and whatever games (tug of war etc.) that you folks bring to play. In the afternoon we plan to play scout game with boy scout troop and have activities like Whittling (older scouts) survival bracelets, etc.  In the afternoon the camp trading post will be open so if after the hike, say 3:00 if you would like to pick up a souvenir or a treat that is an option. The cost is $25 per family. Please have your unit’s check made out to Pack 95 in the proper amount. We also will need a complete roster of everybody that attends. This is for the camp ranger and it must be complete.  We will start taking sign ups at April den meetings and need them complete by the April 17th pack meeting.

A few extra things we need to make this work (contact Dave if you can bring them):       

  • Two electric griddles for cooking sausages
  • Four large pots (Turkey Fryer with LP tanks) for mac and cheese and hot dogs 

Special note:  Every person (Parents and siblings too!) must have the Health Form for Camp activities (with shooting sports permission for the supervised BB gun and Archery ranges) completed and have these With You when you arrive at camp.   Forms and Map are available here.

Directions to the camp:

Go south on US Highway 52 and continue to Minnesota Highway 19 (Cannon Falls/Northfield).  Go west on Minnesota Highway 19 to 310th Street (see sign to Scout Reservation).  Go north on 310th Street to Camp Main Entrance.  Follow signs through scout reservation to "Gray Brothers / Baden Powel Lodge"

 


 

Making the most of
your family's scouting experience
As quoted in Northern Star Council's "Navigator"

Whether this is your first experience or you've had a child involved for several years, there are many things you can do to take advantage of the opportunities available. As parents, you have varying roles to play depending upon the program and age of participant.

Direct involvement is highest in Cub Scouting, and decreases as members grow in their responsibility for program leadership and implementation through Webelos, Boy Scouting, Venturing and Exploring.

However, at all levels there are two keys ways you can help:
  1. Show an interest in your son's/daughter's Scouting accomplishments and achievements
  2. Take on tasks in support of the unit's leadership such as phone calls, event planning, driving to activities, or serving in a more formal leadership role as an assistant or primary unit leader.  

Kids do grow up so fast.  The time families spend together in scouting is cherished and talked about at gatherings long after participants have moved on to other stages of their lives. Make scouting part of you own family tradition.


 

Interested in Scouting?

Why join?

Boys want to have fun, while parents want them to learn positive values and skills that will last a lifetime. If your boy is about to enter kindergarten through fifth grade, Cub Scouting may be exactly what you are both looking for. And its one of the few after-school activities that gives you one on one time with your child.

How do I join?

The Cub Scouts are open to any boy between the ages of 5 - 10 (Grades K to 5).  For more information please feel free to send us an email or visit one of our monthly Pack meetings. Pack 95 supports Lincoln Center.  To see if your school has a pack, visit www.adventureiscalling.org.

Scouting needs parents, too!

Scouting is a volunteer-led program.  Parents and the organizations who charter (sponsor) Scouting groups select the leaders who they would like to work with their children.  Volunteer to help at one of our many events; you'll be glad you did!
