Western Colorado Council
2008 Cub Scout Campout
"Mad Scientist”

The committee organizing this campout is going to try to get a list of belt loops, activity pins, advancement requirements, etc. that can be earned at this camp. This may take us awhile to complete, so please be patient and check back often!
Date and Location of Camp: July 24-26, 2008, will be held at the fish hatchery near Rifle Gap State Park.
Driving Directions: From I-70 going either direction follow the signs to Rifle Gap State Park from exit 90.
Registration Deadline: June 12th
Late Fee: $20 We will not accept any late registrations after July 11th for any reason.
Participant Fee: $75 for Cub Scouts – Must be attending 1st – 6th grade next fall.
Family/Adult/Leaders Fee: $40 – entire family invited to attend, but so far we will not be providing entertainment or other activities for younger than Cub Scout aged family members… unless we have enough volunteers for this duty.
TIGERS require a parent to be with them. WOLVES, BEARS, and WEBELOS DO NOT require a parent to be with them, but we must maintain a 1/5 ratio of adults to youth!
LEAVE NO TRACE camping will be a requirement. No RV's, this is tent camping only. The fish hatchery is being generous to let us use their land, let's take care of it.
Hours: Your Pack’s check-in time (around 10-12) for the 24th will be sent out after we have received all the registrations, please include your e-mail address on the form. Camp will end afternoon on Saturday the 26th.
We want your input to make this fun! We are open to any/all ideas; please send them to Craig, James, (both of their contact info is listed below) or Cory (cocook@bsamail.org - 970-285-9610).
Any adult who would like to volunteer for a station or for anything else would be greatly appreciated. We can also use any Boy Scout troops who would like to assist, especially O.A. members! Call Craig or Cory to volunteer. Here is a list of activities and their mad scientist theme names (some of which we need better names for) that we would like to do. We can add/subtract from this list with your input, and your volunteerism.
1) First Aid – Stitching up Frankenstein
2) Frisbee Golf – UFO Toss
3) Obstacle Course – Navigating the Lab
4) BB Guns – Particle Accelerator
5) Archery – Lasers
6) Bottle Rockets – Launch Pad
7) Crafts – Creation Station

9) Knots – need theme name
10) Water “Scramble” (get wet!!) - need theme name

Every person should bring a full water bottle, hat, sunscreen, have a tent to sleep in (if you need one provided, please let us know asap!), and spending money for the trading post. If anyone wishes to bring snacks/food of any kind it is required that it be stored where animals can't smell it or get to it.
We will most likely be having a trading post so bring extra spending money. Whistles/horns/noisemakers purchased at the Trading Post will only be allowed to be blown at specified times.
More items to bring with you will be sent out after you register, please include your e-mail address. There are three forms at the bottom that must be turned in. |
