Sioux Council Day Camp

 

PLEASE PASS THIS INFO ON TO YOUR PACKS AND OTHER FAMILIES ATTENDING DAY CAMP !!!!

If you are no longer a leader for your Unit, please pass this on to others you know who need this info & let me know so I can take you off our email list. Thank-you!

Please have the Adults in your Pack coming to camp, go to this link, print out an Adult/Staff Reg. and mail or scan & email me the info, then I can match people up with jobs BEFORE camp starts. We have adult’s names, but do not know which days they can work.

2010 CUB SCOUT SUMMER DAY CAMP

Here are some things you will need to know about camp:

Aberdeen Day Camp is held at Melgaard Park at South Lloyd St & Melgaard Rd. Watch for signs/balloons at the turns.

Aberdeen Cub Day Camp - Monday July 12th & Tuesday July13th —
Check-In starts at 8:00 AM-- PROGRAM starts at 8:45 AM

Parents or the responsible adult/Leader MUST check-in & check-out each Scout, each day!

Health History Forms should have been mailed in with your registration. If they were not, they must be brought to the registration table on Monday morning.

Medications: any medicine needed at camp must be given to our staff nurse. An ‘Orders for Medication’ form must be filled out by your parent or guardian at camp. This is for your protection.

Camp activities will start promptly. We have a lot of fun things planned for you so please go to bed early the night before.

Please do NOT bring these items to camp: knives, expensive cameras, matches, fire starters, fireworks, radios, Game Boys, Pokemon cards, glass bottles, or any other items not belonging in camp.

Please DO bring these items to camp: Health History Forms if not already turned into Sioux Council, canteen or water bottle, sun screen, bag lunch for noon, bug repellant, rain jacket, hat, inexpensive camera, a good attitude, and be ready to have fun!

This year, we plan to have the Scouts make a ‘Sit-Upon’ to carry their camp items. We have been collecting empty/clean 3 & 5 gallon pails with lids for the Scouts to decorate & keep. If you have access to many pails, please let us know. If you have even just 1 or 2, please bring it to camp.

Every item of apparel and gear should have the Cub’s name and Pack number on it.

Cub Scouts and adults attending camp each day should bring a sack lunch from home. Make sure your Pack brings enough coolers to refrigerate the lunches.

The BSA does allow Cub Scouts to carry and use a knife at some Scout functions; however, Day Camp is NOT one of them.

ADULTS: Your Pack should be sending a minimum amount of adults for helping at Camp-1-Adult for every 4 Scouts EACH day. This does NOT include Tiger parents. This does not count if your Pack sends 4 Scouts & 1 Adult for each day. We need enough hands & eyes to provide a safe camp for these Scouts. We also do not want to ‘cut’ stations because we do not have enough adult help.

If your son is a NEW tiger-(just finished Kindergarten) he needs to have an Adult walk with him during the entire camp. If you signed up as an adult helper, I need to know that you are walking with your Tiger.

Day Camp Needs:
Certified CPR/1st Aid Health Officer
Archery & BB Gun Station Leaders who are trained by BSA, NRA, or NAA
Station Leaders
Den Walkers
Assistants

We also need a few people willing to come before 8 to help with the Reg. table and set-up.

We are also looking for a trailer for use at Camp-Sun evening thru Tues. about 5pm

If you can help to fill a position, please email Rhonda so we can 'fill in the blanks' before the Mon. morning rush.

Any questions, please call the Day Camp Directors: Janet Binfet (605) 290-4179 or Rhonda Stengel (605) 949-2708 scoutingstengels@yahoo.com
