| Greetings! |
 Spring is the time to sign-up for Cub and Family Camps! Along with camps come registration fees. Depending on the length of the camp and if it's overnight or not, the price will vary. Start planning early for camps and helping your Scouts and units raise money to send themselves to camp. - Sell popcorn during the fall sale and on-line, all year round!
- NEW this year, is the Camp Card. It's a $5 discount and coupon card that Scouts sell and their unit keeps $2.50 of each card to help boys pay for camp.
- Scouts can do odd jobs for their families and neighbors like mowing lawns and babysitting.
- Apply for a scholarship/campership. Click here for campership information.and look under "forms".
Camping is fun and being outdoors is Scouting's favorite way to learn. So, let's go camping!
