SUMMER CAMPING 2009
* 7/9-7/10 - WEBELOS ADVENTURE DAYS
Dens 2 and 4 are scheduled for Webelos Adventure Days camp on Thursday, 7/9/09 and Friday 7/10/09 with an overnight stay on 7/9/09. We will be working on the Readyman, Scientist, Engineer, and Forester activity pins/badges. Any other Webelos that have not yet signed up or any current Webelos I's (moving to Webelos II's next year) that would like to join us can contact Shauna Galatzer. Each scout that has already signed up will be receiving info sheets from Shauna at the May 11th Pack Meeting. We will be at Phillipo Scout Reservation near Cannon Falls, MN and check in is from 8:05am to 8:30am.
*7/24-7/26 - CAMP AKELA
Camp Akela is a weekend program for Tigers, Wolfs, Bears and 1st year Webelos (as of Spring). Cub Scout Resident Camp is an opportunity for Cub Scouts and their adult leadership to spend quality time together working on advancement, enjoying recreational activites and learning about camping. Activities will be age specific based on rank - so a cub can come back to Cub Scout Resident Camp each year, and get a different experience. 1st Year Webelos can stay at camp for an extra night of camping called the Webelos Outpost. Campers sleep in two person canvas tents that are supplied by the camp. Activites at Camp Akela have included pony rides, archery, bb-gun target shooting, swimming in a pool, boating, crafts, nature, and games. Food service is provided in a dining hall. Camp Akela is held at Phillipo Scout Reservation in Cannon Falls, MN.
Right now we have 5 families signed up to go.
If any additional families would like to attend they can contact Shauna Galatzer or Marc Johannsen.
*7/24-7/26 - CAMPOUT WITH THE STARS
*7/24-7/26 - CAMPOUT WITH THE STARS
The Minnesota Astronomical Society is having their 2nd Annual Campout with the Stars 7/24-7/26. Here is a link to some more information:
It starts at 7pm on the 24th and is located at the Onan Observatory at Baylor Regional Park. This is near Norwood/Young America. We are told the cost would be around $7.00 and that although this is a public event, they will be doing special scouting activities and have separate camping areas for the scouts. We understand this is the same date as our Camp Akela, but we hope the cost difference will allow more families to attend this event. Also, MN Astro has many, many star gazing opportunities throughout the year that are open to the public and are FREE events. Here is the link to the Star Parties dates and location info:
