R - C Summer Camp Registration

You may have heard members of our pack mention R - C (pronounced "R bar C") summer camp for scouts. Every summer, the Grand Canyon Council offers 5 camping sessions at this council-owned camp east of Payson. For many, time spent together at R - C has become some of their strongest memories of scouting.

Registration for R-C summer camp is open. The registration form, with more details, is available here:

When registering, note that we are pack 618 from the "Four Peaks" district. You should use our Committee Chairman ("Brett Carlson") as the pack contact. Also, when registering, your scout will have advanced in rank. If he's a Tiger now, he'll be a Wolf at R-C, etc. If you register, please let Paul Kaiser know so that he can include you in future emails on the topic. And please don't hesitate to contact him with any questions you might have.

2012 Annual Pinewood Derby

The 2012 annual Pack 618 Pinewood Derby is just around the corner.

In order to make this a fun and fair event, this document describes the process and rules in detail. Our pack's racing rules mimic those for our council, so that if your scout qualifies to race at a higher level (outside of our pack) his car will meet the qualifications of that level.

Don't forget these important dates!
