This month we will be working as staff members for the Cub Family Campout.

The campout will be held at Unity Village as part of a Thunderbird District event.

We will perform whatever duties are necessary for the event to be a success!

(Last year, we ran the water-rocket station).

We will assemble at 5:00 PM at St. Sabina Gym in order to arrive at the campsite as soon as possible.

The event will end on Saturday (24-Sep-2011) NLT noon and we will be back at St. Sabina Gym NLT 2:00 PM.

We are also requested to assist with an Eagle Project at St. Sabina right after the campout (at St. Sabina).

Here is the Permission Slip for the event.

What makes a camp fire program great?   Getting it all planned out before you head to the camp out!

Dutch Oven Recipes

Here are two sites.. with *lots* of food ideas!

Hint:  Prepare some at home in getting the ingredients ready and pre-measured, and save a lot of effort in camp!

Pre-made from scratch pizza crusts could be partially cooked at home, and finished with toppings and sauce in a dutch oven, cooking in just a few minutes each.  Yum!

The theme for the August, 2011 campout is Pioneering.

Scouts should be prepared to create a primitive bridge.

This will be a two-night campout in a primitive environment (Johnson family Farm (private land)).
