Family Camping 2011 - May 13-15

Our 2011 Family Camping trip is scheduled for the weekend of May 13 - 15.
 
Family camping is an outdoor experience that involves Cub Scouting program elements in overnight settings with two or more family members, including at least one BSA member of that family. Parents are responsible for the supervision of their children, and Youth Protection guidelines apply.
 
This year, we will be staying at the O'Leary Group Campground northeast of Flagstaff, very close to Sunset Crater National Monument. Thanks to Dave Cramer for handling the reservations again this year. There are 18 campsites available - to cover expenses we ask that each campsite make a $15 donation to the pack. If you are interested in attending with your scout and any other family members, sign up to reserve your space:
 

Space is running out at R - C Summer Camp

If you have not already received confirmation of your R - C summer camp registration, please be aware that sessions 1, 2 and 3 are full. There is still availability at this time for session 4, and for family camp. Click here for more information.
