    Camp Rockefeller Cub Family Camps Spring 2017 Parent’s Guide and Registration Forms What Do Boys Want from Scouting? When a boy becomes a member of the Boy Scouts of America, one of his first questions is, “When do we go camping?” The Cub Scout program offers a variety of opportunities that include day camps, pack campouts, family camping, and Webelos overnighters. Each of these experiences have a different dynamic that gives the boy and his friends and family an appreciation for the outdoors. Camping and outdoor activities fulfill a boy’s dreams of fun, excitement, and adventure. Camps provide a natural setting for quality time with family and friends. Scout council camps with trained staffers provide an ideal setting for a wide variety of activities. Who Can Attend? The whole family is invited to attend Cub Scout Family Camp. Anyone in the family (immediate or extended) may attend any of the Cub Scout Family Camps hosted at Camp Rockefeller on Gus Blass Scout Reservation, if there is one registered Cub Scout in the family. How much does it Cost? Every effort is made to keep costs low while providing a safe, fun event for you and your family. The registration fees below cover food, craft supplies, sporting good supplies, insurance, and incidentals to keep a camp open (like electricity, permits, equipment repair, etc.). Cub Scouts will receive an event patch as part of their fees. Most of the overhead costs of keeping Camp Rockefeller operating is offset by Friends of Scouting and other donations. The base cost per person to attend camp is $20.
