Cub Scout Day Camp is the week of June 17 - 21 at the Gaithersburg Lois Green Izaac Walton League. Adult and Youth staff must be at camp each day from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. unless special arrangements are made in advance. There will be a half hour lunch and we're pleased to announce that lunch will be the same as in past years. The camp will buy the main dish and staff can bring side dishes and desserts if you would like to join us for lunch. You are always welcome to pack your own lunch.

Camp for the Cub Scouts is from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. We need Scouts to volunteer as den chiefs who travel with Cub Scout groups and parents to the different stations throughout the week (normally that's 1st year camp Scouts who have never volunteered at camp before), help the adult volunteers run a station, and assist staff at headquarters as a Program Assistant (for example, filling up the station's water jugs through out the day). Scouts have to be 14 years of age or older to assist at BBs and Archery.

The theme this year is Wild West. Here are the stations: Crafts, Field Sports, Archery, BBs, Fishing, and Theme (includes nature, Native American lore, Western lore.

All attached forms will be turned in to me, Debbie Metrey. They can be mailed to 18508 Meadowland Terrace, Olney, MD 20832, delivered in person to my address, or scanned and sent via computer. Each Scout needs to complete a BSA Medical form (Parts A & B) with a copy of the front and bank of their insurance card and updated immunizations, a signed 2013 Staff Agreement, and a completed 2013 Staff Application form. All forms are attached to this email. I do take requests as to where volunteers wish to work during the week, but I make the final placements so we have enough staff covering all the areas throughout the camp.

Mark your calendars! Staff training will be held both the Saturday and Sunday prior to the start of camp (June 15 and June 16). We'll also be setting up ranges and stations. Staff are required to attend at least one of those days unless special arrangements are made in advance. SSL hours will be available for youth staff that can help set up camp after training is complete that weekend.

If you have general questions about the program or have other questions about day camp, please contact Carlos Salazar, who is in charge of day camp this year at Carlos.Salazar@scouting.org.

Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Metrey
