Summer Camp
Summer Camp is fast approaching.  In order to get a good choice of rooms and save a little money we would like to get our reservation into council by May 1st.   The Summer Camp sessions are open for any Cub Scout rising 2nd graders - rising 5th graders.   Most of the camp attendees are boys going into 3rd, 4th or 5th grades.   Attached is a parents guide, please look it over and don't be afraid to ask Bill or myself questions.   We are looking at attending session 7.
 
Thank you,
