It's never too late to join Scouting! Bring a friend to the event and let them experience a little bit of Scouting. Come out and join us, make new friends and new memories!

SAVE THE DATE!

Pack 40 is busy planning our camp-out which is set for Saturday, June 30th to Sunday, July 1st at the Quail Hill Scout Reservation (approx. 15-20 minutes away).

There will be....

- Camping
- Hiking
- Fishing
- Nature & Conservation
- Orienteering
- Shooting Sports
- Games

Just to name a few!

We had a great turn-out last year when we camped at Citta - we are looking forward to another amazing camp-out and hope you can make it.

Again, please let your Den Leader know if you are interested in attending!

Please note, the deadline for day camp registration is just around the corner! Day camp registrations need to be in no later than May 15th - the earlier the better as both sessions filled up rather quickly last year.

Week 1: June 25th - June 29th

Week 2: July 9th - July 13th

This is an amazing opportunity for your Scout to get a jump-start on requirements for next year. These week-long day-camps are so much fun, the Scouts don't even realize that they are satisfying requirements for their upcoming scouting year. Please, if you can - take advantage of these opportunities. Feel free to email me or call me with any questions.
