It's Time for DayCamp!

Here ye!  Here ye!  It's time to register for Cub Scout Day Camp!

All Cub Scouts desiring to become Knights are hereby requested to attend the “Medieval Times” themed Day Camp!  Monday-Thursday, June 9th-12th at Harvest Church in Watauga.

Cubs will be grouped together for a Tiger – Bear Specific program.  Along the same lines, Webelos will be grouped together for a Webelos Specific Program.  There will be BB and archery ranges as well.

Registration is NOW OPEN by clicking here.
$85 per scout
This registration fee includes all activities, a day camp hat and t-shirt.

Registration requirements are as follows:  

  • For a participant – Health form (hardcopy), on-line registration and payment
  • For adult chaperones or volunteers – Adult health form (which includes background information), on-line registration, Youth Protection Training (classroom) and payment (for t-shirt.  All registered volunteers are expected to purchase a t-shirt.)

If you have a current health form on file that will be good through the end of day camp, you are set.  If you don't know, feel free to complete a new one here and turn that into April Driggers ASAP.  

The experiences isn't limited to Scouts.  It's also provided to the wee lads and lasses.  Younger children who are kindergarten-aged or lower can attend the tot-lot. They must by potty-trained.  In the past the cost has been $5 per day per child, I will verify this information.  

The Mustang District Royal Court needs many Noble Lords and Ladies to guide and teach the young knights.  We are always interested in volunteers. We generally have two different types of volunteer positions available.

Chaperones – these are the adults that travel with the boys from station to station throughout the day. If you are interested in being a chaperone, please see April Driggers.  We need TWO ADULTS for every TEN BOYS.

Camp volunteer staff – these are adults that will staff positions at day camp. These positions may be stations for crafts, education, fun, BB/Archery ranges, the tot-lot, etc. If you are interested in this type of a position, please let April Driggers know and she will put you in touch with the Day Camp Director.

While it is not a requirement, we do ASK that each parent that signs a scout up for Day Camp volunteers at least one day as a chaperone.  This helps ensure that our required ratios are met and that they do not split up our Pack due to insufficient chaperones.  Stated differently, if we can ensure that our dens are adequately covered by chaperones, we stay together.  If we cannot, there is no guarantee that your den will remain intact and they will be split up and boys stuck with other groups that do have sufficient coverage.  We do NOT want that to happen so we ask that you please volunteer.  We will need volunteers every day of camp.  If you have a more flexible schedule and can fill in where there is a need, please let April know.

Once your registrations have been processed and paid -- PRINT OUT A COPY.  We need either an electronic or hard copy of this not only to ensure that everyone who registers shows up on our Pack's list, but also to make sure we have adequate chaperones for each day of camp as well as to verify t-shirt sizes before distribution, etc.

It's a great time!!!  Come join us!

  1. Can we register individually and still stay together as a pack? or do we need to register as a pack?

    1. Yes, when you put 1910 as your unit number, they will link registrations together. I am asking for copies of registrations as well just to verify all information is INDEED linked together! Thanks for asking.
