Each evening is filled with fun activities that are age appropriate, and are built around advancements for each level (Tiger Cub, Wolf, Bear, and Webelos). On Friday, your Cub will receive a report showing achievements completed at each activity area.

It is the responsibility of your Pack to provide belt loops and other rank items earned while at camp.

Medications

If a camper is bringing medication to camp, it should be in the original container and have the camper’s name and specific dosage instructions and be turned in to the Camp medical officer. Asthma inhalers and Epi-pens may remain with the camper.

Volunteers

All volunteers (staff, adult volunteers, junior staff) must wear current camp t-shirt while at camp, attend a camp training session, and be trained in BSA on-line Youth Protection policies.

For security reasons, persons not wearing a camp t-shirt will be escorted to headquarters to register their attendance.

Tiger Cubs

(Cubs entering 1st grade in 9/2008) Tiger Cubs must be accompanied by an Adult Partner who is their parent, legal guardian, or a trusted adult and is the adult listed on the registration form). Their Adult Partner is considered an adult volunteer and must be registered and attend a camp training session.

Registration

Please register only one person per form using the proper registration sheet (Cub oradult volunteer).  Registration should be done through your pack. However, you may register without the pack.

Medical release forms

Texas State Camp and BSA regulations require that every person (adults & children) attending camp must complete a registration form and a Medical Release Form with actual immunization dates (month and year) and have it on file with the camp medical officer. Any registrations turned in without immunization dates on medical form will be returned as an incomplete registration.
