Another fun perk of being involved is collecting cool insignia and patches. The Cub Scout Outdoor Activity Award is one of those special awards that can only be earned by attending one of the District-sponsored Summer Day Camps or by attending one of the Cub Scout or Webelos Resident Camps. Resident Camps are overnight experiences held at Sid Richardson Scout Ranch, Worth Ranch and/or Tahuaya). You can read all about Resident Camp HERE.
Today, however, I'm specifically talking about Day Camp! Our summer day camp is organized by some great volunteers whose only wish is that your son have an exceptional Scouting experience.
Mustang District Summer Day Camp is an annual themed week-long adventure that takes place daily at Harvest Church, usually the first Monday after school is released for summer. The cost is about $100 per "camper" and that cost can be reduced greatly by participating in one of the optional fundraiser that will be announced soon.
Attending Day Camp will enable your son to earn the Outdoor Activity Award pictured below.
Tigers, Wolves, Bears, Webelos and AOL Scouts are eligible to earn this award which is sewn onto the uniform pocket flap.
Read all about it HERE.
Because attending either Day Camp or Cub Scout/Webelos Resident Camp is a required component for earning this award, I would suggest starting work on this optional award in June after attending District Day Camp. That gives you a full year of Scouting to fulfill the requirements. We have an awesome program that will allow for it to be completed easily with your continued involvement each month.
Better yet -- the Outdoor Activity Award can be earned every year. The patch is awarded once and then pins are awarded for the additional years it is earned.
So, save the date... the first week of June for MUSTANG DISTRICT DAY CAMP! More information coming soon.
