2014 Cub Scout Spring and Summer Camps
We are pleased to offer six Spring and Summer camps to our Cub
Scouts this year. See the detailed information below on dates, times,
location, cost and when payment is due. If you have questions or want to
sign up for a camp, contact Pack 549 Camp Coordinator, Kari Westphal at kariwestphal@hotmail.com
or call (608) 270-1683.
This year Pack 549 Leaders have decided to offer a subsidy of
$65 per Cub Scout for pack and council sponsored camping events between April
2014 and October 2014.
The goal of these monies are to offer each scout the opportunity
to participate in camping activities to enrich their scouting experience
through activities, games, campfire stories, skits, songs, food and friendship.
The family of the Cub Scout may use the $65 subsidy towards any
of the following camps listed below. Families may identify how they want
to use the subsidy towards multiple camps for their Cub Scout. For
example: $30 for Rokilio, $35 for Webelos Expedition for a total of $65.
Any unused subsidy monies that are not used by the scout will be returned
to the Pack 549 treasury after October 2014. Please speak to Kari Westphal
about how much your Cub Scout has in his camping subsidy account. Note: If a
family has 2 Cub Scouts, each boy is offered $65 subsidy per individual scout,
the account is not a family subsidy.
