Cub Scout Day Camp - July 16-20, 2012
Join Us and Help Celebrate Camp Birch’s 80th Anniversary
Tecumseh Council Day Camp is a nationally accredited day camp. The staff is made up of volunteers who are kid-oriented, creative individuals who have been working for twelve months to bring your Cub Scout precious memories that will last a lifetime. All Cub Scouts - Tiger through Webelos - can test their skills at B-B guns, archery, swimming, boating, games, cooking, nature activities, crafts and many more exciting events – and don’t forget, Friday is “Water Day”!
Packs attending Day Camp must provide at least two adult leaders each day. One leader must be a registered adult volunteer 21 years of age or older. The second leader must be at least 18 years of age. One additional adult for every five boys must attend. Leaders accompany their group through daily activities. A parent/guardian may accompany each Cub Scout free of charge. Any boy interested in joining Scouting and siblings in grades 1-5 are welcome to participate, but they need to register and pay the same fee as Cub Scouts. Older Scout siblings are welcome to come with the Pack and serve as Den Chiefs free of charge – but will not receive program materials unless they pay the full fee. All paid youth will receive a free camp shirt and patch.
