Beavers – Year-end Camp
Saturday, 11 June 2:00 PM
Beavers, Beaver Leaders and parents meet at the Lone Cloud dock for departure on the Clipper at 2:00 PM. (for those of you who have not been here before, it is the road leading to Miller Lake immediately by the lights on Perrin Drive at the Highway 118 off ramp). The Clipper can only transport so many people at one time (~15 or so) so we will have to make a few trips to get everyone. The cubs will be heading over before the beavers. Please do not put your child on a boat without a beaver leader (i.e., don’t assume you can send them over with the cubs if you arrive early). We will all gather on the dock and take attendance, you will say your goodbyes and we will sail away with your children. J
That afternoon after we get settled in our bunks (the beavers and beaver leaders will stay together in a large bunk house), we will participate in various field activities organized by the scouts/venturers. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and we will have a formal campfire with skits, songs and cheers at the campfire circle (last year we had to have our campfire inside due to rain but it didn’t dampen our spirits!).
Sunday, 12 June
After our pancake breakfast, we will be having a Scouts Own ceremony, swim up ceremony (our white tails will swim up to cubs) and awards. This ceremony involves all those sections at camp with us (beavers, cubs, scouts, venturers). The ceremony will start at 9:30. Parents may join us for this ceremony if you like, but if so, you will need to be at the dock for transport to the island at 9 am. Alternatively, if you do not wish to be there for the ceremony, you may meet us for pick-up time at 10:30. We will have loads of people to get off the island so if you don’t mind waiting on the dock for us on the other side, that would be preferred. For those of you who wish to come over to the island, please note that multiple trips (and patience) will be required.
I have attached the camping kit list (suggested items to pack) in case you didn’t receive a copy tonight. If your child has any new allergies (not previously recorded on your registration form) and/or is currently taking medication please let us know. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me or one of the other leaders. Thanks
