2008 Eagle District Cub Scout Day Camp
Monday – Friday June 2 – 6, 2008
Location: Rockin’ O Ranch, Southern Logan County (subject to change)
Registration Packets
* will be available shortly. For more information, please make sure your Pack sends a representative to the April Roundtable – Thursday 10 April 2008, 7:00 p.m. held at Christian Activity Center of the Edmond First United Methodist Church at the corner of Jackson and Hurd.
Each Pack
must provide one
adult Walking Leader each day for every four youth. Den Chiefs and Den Aides do not count toward this ratio. Keep in mind that some Cub and Webelos activities will be separated – thus a Walking Leader for each separated group.
Each Tiger Cub (boys entering first grade) must be accompanied by an Adult Partner, one to one ratio.
Drop-ins (Cubs and Webelos without an adult Walking Leader or Tigers without an Adult Partner) are not allowed to attend camp.
The only youth participants are Tiger Cubs, Cub Scouts, and Webelos Scouts. Registered Boy Scouts and Venture Scouts may attend as Den Chiefs, Den Aides, or Camp Staff.
No unregistered siblings may attend the camp as participants.
All parents and registered adult leaders may attend but are expected to take an active role in leading the camp experience either as Walking Leaders or Camp Staff.
Please register as a unit. Registration packets will be available online soon.
No registrations will be accepted after May 23
rd 2008.
Your Pack should have a Day Camp Coordinator who can answer your questions. If you cannot contact this person, feel free to contact one of the following:
* Last year's 2007 registration packet contains some pertinent information for 2008.

America.

Friends of Scouting campaign raises money through private contributions to cover the council costs which are
not covered by other types of funding. About $125 per scout is needed beyond the costs scout families normally pay
to provide the type of professionals, facilities, and services which are necessary components of the scouting program.
- Family Campaign - Every Pack and Troop is responsible for scheduling an FOS presentation at a pack meeting or a
court of honor as part of the Quality Unit program. The Blue and Gold Banquet is the perfect time for an FOS presentation.
Our family program goal for 2008 is $50,000.
- Community Campaign - Many in our Community recognize the virtue of Scouting who have no family
members currently in the program. Our community campaign will identify community leaders and businesses
who can be persuaded to contributing to the cause. Although the idea is not new, this coordinated program is. Our
goal for the Community FOS Campaign is $70,000.
