Cub Scout & Webelos Resident Camps

There are so many opportunities all summer long to keep the OUT in ScOUTing! One of those is Cub Scout and/or Webelos Resident Camps provided by the Longhorn Council.  This year's theme is:

DINOSAUR SURVIVAL CAMP!


A great perk of attending -- your Scout can earn his Outdoor Activity Award.  Day Camp and/or Resident Camp is mandatory to earn this.


Four Webelos sessions and four Cub Scout sessions are available. Cub Scout and Webelos Camps help you bring outdoor fun and learning to your Cub Scout summer at Sid Richardson Scout Ranch (SR2) near Bridgeport and Camp Tahuaya near Belton. You’ll go kayaking and canoeing on the lake and rock climbing, go swimming and have fun water fights – swimming each day! Fleets of new Sit-on-Top Kayaks for each program.

Cub Scout Sessions: $125 youth, $50 adults. 3-Nights.
Camp Tahuaya Cub Scout Session 1 – June 24 – June 27
Camp Tahuaya Cub Scout Session 2 – June 27- June 30
Sid Richardson Scout Ranch Cub Session 3 – July 8 – July 11
Sid Richardson Scout Ranch Cub Session 4 – July 11 – July 14

Webelos Sessions: $125 youth, $50 adults. 3-Night
Camp Tahuaya Webelos Session 1 – June 24 – June 27
Camp Tahuaya Webelos Session 2 – June 27- June 30
Sid Richardson Scout Ranch Webelos Session 3 – July 8 – July 11
Sid Richardson Scout Ranch Webelos Session 4 – July 11 – July 14

For resident camp, all tents, meals, eating utensils, program materials and equipment are provided by the camp for each camper. The camp does not provide cots or mattresses for the campers. A limited number of cots may be rented for $5 per camp session on a first-come first-served basis.

Just what do Cub Scouts and Webelos DO at Resident Camp?  How about Swimming, Kayaking, Archery, BB Shooting, Climbing, Water Battles, Rowing, Nature, Canoeing, Reptile Shows, Campfires, Games, First Aid, Advancement, Crafts, Fishing... AND MORE!

This can be coordinated at the family or den level. Each Cub Scout should have an adult partner with him.  However, if you’re the only member of our Pack attending camp, you would be an “Explorer” camper. You’ll make new friends and camp with other “Explorer” Cub Scouts and parents from Packs all over the Longhorn Council.

PARENT ORIENTATION MEETING
The orientation meeting for adults coming to camp will be held the Wednesday before your camp session at 7 pm at the Longhorn Council offices. Orientation Meetings for SR2 sessions will be held at the Hurst office.

LEADERSHIP REQUIREMENTS
All adults (18 and older) must turn in a completed Camp Adult Info Form to the Camp Director on arrival at camp. Each Pack, Den, or family attending must turn in a Texas Camp Adult Roster prior to arriving at camp.

All units (if you attend as a den) in camp MUST BE under the direct leadership of two adults at all times, one must be at least 21 years old and the other at least 18 years old. Adults may rotate with other parents or leaders; however, at least two qualified adults must remain in camp with the unit 24 hours daily while in camp. All adults in camp must have a current BSA youth protection card (good for two years). If you attend as an Explorer scout, you will stay with your Scout at all times and still need YPT certification.

REQUIRED HEALTH FORMS
Every adult and youth camper must have a completed BSA Medical form, Parts A, B, and C. This form does require a doctor’s exam. The Health Department requires immunization dates and parent signatures on all health forms.
