23-25,
Fri-Sun -- at Camp McLean
Our first major Area event for the
year is CubStart Camp, planned for the weekend of September 23rd
through 25th, at Camp McLean (20315 16 Avenue, Langley South).
This camp is a great way for all youth (and adults!) to learn
some basic camping and outdoor Scouting skills. We have revamped
the schedule, to add more advanced sessions for the older youth,
and all sessions qualify towards numerous badge requirements!
We have some volunteers for a few stations, but are still in need
of a number of stations to be filled. We are also in desperate
need of a cook, cooks assistants, and a camp chief...
Just
like the Fraser Valley Scouts do a Kick-Off camp every Fall, near
the beginning of October, the Nicomekl Cubs now have a Start-Up
camp that they can go to. All Cubs are invited to
attend. We hope that
all Packs will take advantage of this opportunity. This camp will
help new Cubs get oriented to the Pack program and also will give
new Cub leaders a chance to achieve some of the outdoor requirements
on the Pack BasicTraining done. We are looking for Scouters that
may be able to head some of the sessions for the youth and leaders.
Some examples are: Introduction to Scouting for leaders, knife
safety, hiking, knots, setting up tarps etc. Most sessions are
about one hour long. If you have any questions or you can head
some of the sessions, please let us know. Your help will be greatly
appreciated. Just a reminder, that EVERYONE should have a Physical
Fitness Form with them for their time at the camp, even if just
there to train for an hour or so. |
