Information for Parents of Cub Scout Day Camp Scouts 
 
 

Dear Parents of Cub Scouts Attending Day Camp -  
 

This letter is to confirm that I am in receipt of your son’s application for the 2008 Cub Scout Day Camp, June 9-13, from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. I look forward to seeing him there!   
 

For those who are volunteering, thank you for your time.  We could not do this camp without you. PLEASE make sure to attend the Orientation on Sunday, June 8, at 2 p.m. on the steps of Plant Hall at the University of Tampa. In addition, please make sure to complete the Youth Protection Training online at www.boyscouting.com.  I need to have the printed (or e-mailed) certificate for each volunteer before you attend camp. 
 

For youth protection, please go to www.boyscouting.com and click the training link on the right-hand side of the screen.  Under "online training central," click the red "central port" link.  You will see pictures of the various training sessions.  Please click on youth protection training, which is at the top.  You will need your council number (Gulf Ridge - Tampa, FL - 086) and your membership ID, which is on your registration card.  If you do not have your membership ID, it will let you register for training anyway.  Once you register, it will send you an e-mail.  After you receive the e-mail, you will be able to complete the training.  After you complete the training, you should be able to print a certificate.  Please print the certificate and send it to me via USPS mail or e-mail. 
 

Please note the following:

  • T-shirts will be distributed on Sunday, June 8 at the pick up circle in front of Plant Hall by the fountain.  These shirts are to be worn every day of camp.  Den assignments for camp will also be handed out that day.  Please come by between 3 - 5 p.m. on Sunday, June 8. 
  • Pick up and drop off will be in the circle in front of Plant Hall next to the fountain.  It will run just like pick up/drop off runs at most schools.  Please have a sign with your child's name in the window for easy pick up in the afternoons.
  • Drop off is at 8:45 a.m.  Camp starts promptly at 9 a.m., so to ensure your scout is with his den and at his first activity, please drop your scout off before 9 a.m.
  • Pick up starts at 2 p.m. and is by designated drivers only.  If someone else is picking up your child, you need to send a note with him that morning. 
  • Late pick-up starts at 2:30 p.m., and there is a $10 late fee after 2:30 p.m.
  • Please do not park in the University of Tampa Museum's designated parking spaces.  They get very upset each year when parents utilize the few spaces they have.  If you park on campus, please use any legal parking space or the parking garage on campus.
  • Your son will be in a group with others from his pack and den.
  • Your son should wear his bathing suit and camp t-shirt all day, in addition to shoes and socks.  Please send a towel and sunscreen (for self-application) with him to camp every day.  Please apply sunscreen to your child before he gets to camp.  Camp staff is not allowed to physically apply sunscreen due to youth protection rules. 
  • Each day, please pack a sack lunch for your son.  We will have coolers with ice packs to keep their lunches chilled, but please use your best judgment when packing their lunches.  It will be very hot in June. 
  • On Friday we will have cheese pizza for lunch.  Please send $2 with your son to camp on Friday or before for pizza.  If your son does not like pizza, please send a sack lunch on Friday.
  • We provide water and cups all day throughout the camp.  Gatorade is provided at lunch Monday through Thursday. 
  • Lost and found can be retrieved daily from the first aid tent.  Any items left at the end of the week will be kept for one week following camp and then donated to a local charity. Please contact Valerie Kasper at 505-7491 to claim any items.
  • All medications must be checked in with camp medic.
  • EMERGENCY PHONE AT CAMP 505-7491 (mine) or 545-3498 (Melissa Wainright)
 
 

Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns. I look forward to day camp with your son! 
 

Sincerely,

    Cub Scout Motto: Do Your Best


Father's Day Devil Rays Game

 Just to give you an update regarding the Rays baseball game on Father's Day (June 15th). This is Cub Scout day for the Rays. We have reserved a block of 40 seats, of which about half are already spoken for. The kids get to:
Pre-game on field parade
Kids run the bases post game
Carl Crawford jersey T-shirt to first 7500 kids 14 and under
Rays Scout patch to all cub scouts
If you want to go, bring your checkbook to the final Pack meeting tonight! The cost is $30 per ticket, which is a good deal, as it includes a Rays hat, and also a meal ticket. This counts as a summertime activity also!

I have included the flyer from the Rays.

John

We are setting up a group trip with the Rays on Cub Scout day at the Trop, which will be on Fathers Day, June 15th. Please review the enclosed flyer. Pack 21 has opted to go for the $30 seat package. All parents (Mom's too) and siblings can also attend. This activity will count as one of the three summertime activities to get the summertime activity badge.

Please send your check, payable to Garry Hasara, to:

Garry Hasara
16904 Melissa Ann Drive
Lutz, Florida 33558

Cost is $30 per person - that is $30 each for all adults and siblings too.

PLEASE NOTE: You MUST have your check to Garry by May 31, 2008. If your check is late, then you will miss out and not be able to go. Send your check sooner, rather than later. I will email out a list of who is going, so that in the event your check is lost in the mail, the situation can be fixed prior to giving the Rays our final # and paying them.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 813.244.9716.
Thanks

John

Cub Scout Camp - June 9th - 13th
You must fill out the forms and get them back before May 16th.
For more information click on the link below
http://www.boyscouting.com/outdoor_cub_daycamp.php

The early bird registrations for the Cub Scout Day Camp at the University of Tampa have gone in. This does not mean that you missed the boat! You can still register for the camp, you will not get the $15 early bird discount. Please go to WWW.Pack21.org for all the forms and information. The final registration deadline is May 16, which means our camp coordinator must have the form by May 15 - NO LATER. Also, this camp fills up on a first come first served basis. If they fill all the slots prior to May 16, you will be out of luck. SEND IN YOUR REGISTRATION FORMS!!!!

Summer camp will be June 9 through 13 and will be held at the University of Tampa. I think the University of Tampa will work out well, as some of the activities will be in air conditioning, as well as the fact they have a pool, so the kids can go swimming.

Some key points:

1. The early bird registration fee is $65, and must be in our Pack Camp Coordinators hands by Sunday, March 30, 2008. The Pack has to mail a roster and a check to the Council on Monday. Our Pack Camp Coordinator is:
John McAllister
18103 Pecan Grove Place
Lutz, Florida 33548
CELL - 813.230.9100

Please do not take a chance, if you want the early bird discount, mail your form to John ASAP. Do not wait until the last minute and take a chance with the postal service. If the form is not delivered to the McAllister's on time, you will have to pay the regular registration fee.

2. Regular registration is $80, and the due date for the Pack to turn that in is May 16.

3. We need one parent to work as Staff for every five cub scouts we send. The staff application is included. The staff application indicates Scout training is required. While it would be preferable, it will not be required. Also, while it would be preferable for one parent to work all five days, it will be possible to split the week up between Mom and Dad, if necessary. Volunteers should come evenly from all of the dens. A Wolf parent should not have to be in charge of a Webelos den (example only, not pointing fingers). It is very important that you volunteer if you can. If we are short on volunteers, we will have to cut out some of the kids, and we absolutely do not want to do that. If you do volunteer, please take note of the discounted rate for the Cub Scouts whose parents are working the camp.

4. If you have any questions on how to fill out the various forms, please do not let that hold you up with regards to sending them in. All we turn in to council is our roster and a check. The forms are handled internally and with the Camp director, so if there are any issues, we have plenty of time to correct them.

5. Siblings may attend with their Staff Mom or Dad, but babies and toddlers should not. If the sibling is entering the first grade next year, and is going to become a cub scout, they can fully participate in the camp as a Tiger Cub. The only requirement is that they register with the council. If you fit the bill for this, please let me know and I can get you a Cub Scout registration form. This works out really well for the kids who can do it, as they will get a bunch of belt loops, etc at the very first Pack meeting in September.

I apologize for only giving you a couple of days to fill out the forms and get them in the mail in time for the early registration. I just grabbed the ball on this on Tuesday.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call or email me.
Thanks
