    Coronado Area Council Cub Scout Leader’s Guidebook for: Chuckwagon Skills Day 2019 Chuckwagon Skills Day Family Camp Saturday, May 11-12, 2019 Camp Brown, Abilene KS Cub Scout Chuckwagon Skills Day Date: May 11-12 Place: Camp Brown, Abilene KS Registration: 8:30-9:30 Start Time: 9:45 Opening Flags Fees: $25.00 per Cub Scout/Sibling $15.00 per Adult Attention: Early Registration Ends May 1 The Coronado Area Council is holding its 16th Chuckwagon Skills Day on Saturday May 11th & 12th. It is open to all Cub Scouts. The only program on Sunday will be the vespers following breakfast. The Chuckwagons used are scaled-down models of the Old West Chuckwagons. Using the dimensions on the other resource link as a reference, these wagons can be easily built in a weekend. The design, materials, and workmanship can be creative, but the dimensions and restrictions must be followed. Each Chuckwagon will have a maximum of 12 Scouts working as a team. We recommend that the packs mix the age groups of the Cub Scouts. Only Cub Scouts are eligible to compete. THE REGISTERED SCOUTS THAT START ON THE WAGON MUST STAY ON THAT WAGON FOR THE DAY. Substitutions must be cleared with the Chuckwagon staff Chairman. Wagons must have one adult volunteer guide to help the Chuckwagon Staff. These volunteers will assist at the stations as the Scouts pull into a fort. All information and some supplies will be furnished by the station captain for that fort. Each fort will have stations at which the Scouts will have a skill or physical task to do.

Short, a Field Representative of the National Boy Scout Council, to assist them in organizing and establishing a charter for a Waterloo Boy Scout Council. Prominent among the men interested in this movement were George W. Wood, George W. Pike, John W. Gwynne, H. G. Northey, C. F. Alstadt, J. W. Rath, W. F. Parrott, E. R. Shoemaker, R. L. Hoxie, John Hansen, Rank Benedict, and Edmond Rausch. Following the organization of the council, Mr. Short was employed as the first Scout Executive in the area. Neighboring cities and towns, seeing the advantages of organized Scouting, soon became interested, and the council rapidly expanded to other communities of northeastern Iowa. Among leaders in these other communities who became active in the movement were Dr. W. A. Rolfh of Waverly (who gave the funding for the Health Lodge in 1953), Walter Voorhees of Cedar Falls, Rev.
