Join us as we turn the park into a "Scout Haven" of fishing, canoeing, kayaking, cooking, learning activities, games and much more. Relax and enjoy the park by the campfire while learning about astronomy under a sky full of stars. 

In this year fall camporee there will be many water based as well as land based activities so if you are going to participate, please bring home the swim tags after summer camp.

If you forget to do that, don’t worry, this is what you can do instead:
1) produce your unit swim classification sheet
2) Have the Scoutmaster signing it and bring it to the camporee
3) Hurray! The organizers will know the swimming abilities of your Cubs and Scouts for everyone’s safety. 
 
Detailed program, registration sheet and more details to come.

The Fall Program Kickoff is a great opportunity to meet with all unit leaders and share stories, experiences and learn from each other in order to provide a quality, year-round Scouting program for our Cubs and Scouts. During the event you will be able to collect all the material you need to promote your unit and to learn about recruiting, Scoutbook and next year calendar.

Recruitment 
Learn how to promote your Cub Scout pack and recruit new families and volunteers into your unit. Collect all the material you need for your recruiting: posters, fliers, yard signs, applications. 

Program planning 
Pick-up this year's program planning calendar, see which program opportunities are available for your Scouts and available trainings for unit leaders. 

Make you life easier with Scoutbook
We will have a Scoutbook training since this new service provides access to valuable tools and resources that will help with the day-to-day management of a unit, giving every leader more of what they need most: TIME.
This service ensures not a moment is missed - tracking advancement, service hours, milestone achievements and all the fun along the way. Bring your laptop so we can help you get started!
