Who Runs the WEBELOS Resident Camp?
Each camp is staffed by paid and volunteer members who run the daily events and activities. Scouts are organized into Dens by grade. The Den Leaders are volunteer adults from your own Pack, or interested parents who camp with the boys and move them from station to station. Volunteers are always welcome. The staff is locally trained by National Camping School certified Camp Directors who operate the Resident Camps. Everyone must be Youth Protection trained, and training for new volunteers is available. All camps will have an onsite Health Care Provider.
Should I attend Resident Camp if I went to Day Camp?
YES! WEBELOS Scouts are encouraged to participate in both day and resident camping programs. If you sign up for both Day and Resident camp you will receive a discount. It is hard to find a better way to spend two weeks in a Cub Scout's summer than at day and resident camps.
Camperships are available for those Scouts in financial need.
What do we eat?
Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner! - Meals are provided, but WEBELOS scouts may have the opportunity to do some of their own cooking! There will be a special day and meal for campers and their families. This is overnight camping and snacks must be carefully considered and correctly packed and stored if they come to camp!
Do I wear my Cub Scout Uniform?
The Official Boy Scout uniform in its entirety is expected for Morning Colors, Breakfast, Flag Retreat, and Dinner each day in addition to special ceremonies or religious observances. A scouting T-shirt with scout pants is appropriate for most other events in camp. Open toed shoes are not permitted in camp.
How are the camps regulated for safety?
Our resident camps are supervised by Boy Scouts of America National Camp School certified directors, health officers are on duty while camp is in session, and operate under the safety and program standards of the Boy Scouts of America (Information regarding the Permit to Operate a Children’s Camp or National Accreditation Standards can be obtained from the Five Rivers Council at PO Box 5190, Horseheads, NY 14845-5190 or by calling (607) 796-0699). We feel confident your son will have a great time at camp this summer!
