Hello Pack 618!

This is the last call to register for Saturday's pack meeting.  If you don't register now, you can still join us, but you will have to pay for your own park pass ($6/vehicle). If you add your name to the list before FridayAM, we'll prepay for a pass and have it waiting at the park entrance.

Please register by clicking here.

We will be camping at the Javelina Group Campground at the Lake Pleasant Regional Park, which is in the Desert Tortoise Group Camp area along the southwest portion of the lake.  To get there, take I-17 north to the Carefree Highway (aka SR74).  Follow that to the west for about 30 miles to Castle Hot Springs Road.  (***Do NOT turn onto "Lake Pleasant Road" -- it will take you away from the lake!***).  Head north for about 3 miles on Castle Hot Springs Road to the Lake Pleasant Access Road, which is also the road to Scorpion Bay Marina.  Here's a map.

If you register, the ranger at the park gate should have a pass for you, and he or she will give you directions to the Javalina Group Campground. Here's a map of the park.  It should take about an hour from the Copper Canyon area. 

You can arrive any time after noon if you want to explore the park.  Please plan to arrive no later than 6:30 pm so we can start the meeting on time.

We do not have organized activities planned for this outing other than the meeting (which should last until about 8:30, so those of you driving home should be home before 10 pm). David Sandoval will be offering rides in his boat for those of you staying until Sunday morning.

Drive safe, everyone!  See you Saturday!

Hello Pack 618,

We need to finalize our reservations and insurance for the weekend, so if you are not already registered for Crossover, please do so as soon as possible. The link to register is here.

If you are not registered, we won't reserve a park pass for you, and you'll have to pay for your own. Every vehicle needs a park pass even if you are not camping overnight, so please do register if you are coming.

I expect the meeting to start around 6:30 pm and be over by about 8 pm. You are welcome to come out earlier in the day and enjoy the park and lake.  Plan an hour to drive there from the Copper Canyon area.  We are not providing meals, but the Webelos will be hosting refreshments after the meeting.

See you all on Saturday!
