Day 3 Update

WOW! Today had to have been one of the most fantastic days ever for Cub Day Camp. A HUGE thank you to Mr. Rubio and Mr. Scaglione for putting this together. I think everyone had an awesome time, even during the loud "booms". Thanks as always to our Camp Commissioner Chelsea and our awesome Boy Scout staff for helping all day as well.

So now we are down to 2 more days to go. For tomorrow, Thursday, we will be doing our family BBQ and Webelos overnighter. Scouts who are attending either of these will be allowed to stay at the camp after the regular closing at 3 pm. We will have open sessions and just plain ole' free time for the boys to explore the camp. At 6 pm we will serve dinner followed by our 7 pm campfire. After the campfire, the non-campers (Tigers, Wolves, Bears and the siblings to the Webelos) will be heading home while our Webelos enjoy the first Webelos Overnighter at a Cub Day Camp in several years.

HOWEVER, there is one little hitch to all of this. The weather forecast is looking grim for the day and the overnight on Thursday. Obviously safety is of a great concern to us (and all the legal-types...) so we will be monitoring the situation carefully. IF the weather is looking like there is going to be any severe to serious weather during the night, then we will NOT be having our overnighter. This is for the Scouts' safety and to keep them from being scared and miserable and never wanting to camp again. It would be unfortunate if this had to happen, but again, the safety and comfort of our campers (and some of their parents) are of the highest concern to us. This decision will be made by Chris Street and myself sometime around mid-day.

I will have requirement sheets for all of the Den leaders by Friday morning. These will list many of the things that the Scouts have done during the week that they can give to their regular Den leaders towards their rank advancements, beads, belt loops, etc. Our kids did a LOT this week!

As always, please see me with any comments, questions, criticisms or suggestions.
