Re:  Cub Scout Camps for 2011



June 13-15, 2011 at Token County Creek Park

6200 US Hwy 51, Deforest, WI  53532

8:30 am -3:30 pm daily

The Cub Scout Summer Camp program for the Glacier’s Edge Council is designed to provide an age appropriate progression of activities for our Packs and the families they serve.



The theme for camp this year is “Baloo the Builder”

Stations will revolve around construction and engineering, to include: sling shot, rock throwing, hatchet throwing, BB guns, archery catapult construction, bubble rocket, obstacle course, bridge demolition, ultimate Frisbee, kick ball, nature hike and more.



Registration fee includes a T shirt for the Cub Scout, camp patch and program material for each Cub Scout participant.  The Fee per scout is $65.  Registration after May 27th is $75.

Adults attend day camp at no charge.

 

Below are the links for the 3 required forms.  Please complete and bring along to the April 14th Pack Meeting.

 

Pack 443 policy requires a parent or adult family member volunteer to supervise the pack and help with activities for at least one of the 3 days your Cub Scout is at Day Camp.

Pack volunteers run Token Creek County Park Day Camp from the packs that are attending.  We are expected, at a minimum, to have one adult volunteer present daily for each 6 scouts attending.

Please indicate the day(s) you will be volunteering on the top of the Adult Registration form.  I will need to have a rough even distribution of volunteers across the days.  Therefore, please list first, second and third choice days as I may need to do some shuffling.



I will bring extra copies of the forms to the April 14th pack meeting as well.

Pack Meeting - Thursday March 10th - Radio Station Tour

Hi to all our families!

 

We apologize for the late details regarding our Pack Meeting this week on Thursday the 10th.  We have been working the last few weeks on the details around a visit to one of our local radio stations.  A number of our Cub Scouts have been to a TV station in the last few years, but how many have been to a radio station of the 21st century?  Our initial plan was to visit the studios of Wisconsin Public Radio but that didn't work out for a variety of reasons and we will be visiting the Clear Channel Radio stations on South Fish Hatchery Rd.  Here's the details:

 

Radio Station Tour - Six stations all in one place -

• WIBA AM 1310 - News Talk 1310
• WIBA FM 101.5 - Classic Rock
• WTSO AM 1070 - The big 1070 sports
• WMAD FM 96.3 - Star Country
• WXXM FM 92.1 - The Mic
• WZEE FM 104.1 - Z-104

Our tour will start at approximately 6:30 at the studio / offices of Clear Channel Radio in Madison.  The address information is:  (There is a link to a map showing the location at the bottom of the email).

Clear Channel Radio-Madison
2651 S. Fish Hatchery Road
Madison, WI 53711

 

(The station is about 3 miles south of the beltline on Fish Hatchery Rd. on the right hand side (heading south).  Watch for the radio towers right behind their building).

If you would like to meet us directly at the station, that's fine.  Otherwise we will meet at Royal Oaks in the turn around in front of school and will plan to leave there by about 6:10 and hopefully get to the station by about 6:30.

 

If you are running late and need to find us - or if you get lost, etc. please feel free to call Tom Weber on his cell phone:  608-235-0963.

 

Scouts should try to dress in their uniform for the tour, and as always, families are welcome!!
