The National Capital Area Council has come up with some alternatives to the Summer Day Camp and Overnight Camp programs.
Cub Family Summertime Passport
In place of Cub Scout Day Camp is this fun way to plan some activities for the summer. Parents and kids alike may earn the patch (with slightly different requirements). Download the Passport
All activities must be completed between Memorial Day Weekend and Labor Day Weekend. If you would like your patches in September, you may order directly from NCAC by uploading your filled out Passport and payment for $5 per patch, by July 31. The first batch of patches will ship in September. If you complete the Passport requirements later than July 31, not to worry, the closeout date for the second batch of patches is September 30. Those patches will be shipped in November.
If your Tiger though Webelos ranked Cub completes the Passport, please let your Den Leader or Dennis Naidu know so they get credit for attending Summer Camp.
Camp Goshen Webelos Home Camping
One of the exciting things about moving up to Webelos is being able to go on Den Campouts and being able to attend Overnight Camp at some of the Scout Camps in Virginia. Camps Goshen and Snyder are closed during the pandemic but have devised a plan with synchronous and asynchronous activities to complete a lot of advancement requirements. The cost is $125 for the program which runs from Monday through Friday for the chosen week. The $125 also covers that Scout should you choose to attend Family Camping at the end of the week. The weeks available are 7/6-7/10, 7/13-7/17, 7/20-7/24, and 7/27-7/31. Registrations close the Monday before the start day of the camp week,..BUT SPACES ARE FILLING FAST and will close out once filled. Register ASAP!
Family Camping Weekends at Camps Goshen & Snyder
To help with the camping part of Summer Camp, Goshen Scout Reservation in Goshen, VA and Camp Snyder in Haymarket, VA will have 4 weekends available for Family Campouts at their facilities. Reservations are limited at a cost of $25 per person (children 5 & under are free and those Webelos who attended the Home Camping on any of the 4 weeks are prepaid.) This open to the entire family, but it is BYO food and tents, and health forms are required ahead of the date for each family member. The camp will have limited activities and activity equipment since they won't have a heavy staff. These are the only availabilities for NCAC so they will fill fast once word gets around. Available weekends are 7/10-7/12, 7/17-7/19, 7/24-7/26, and 7/31-8/2. Register here.
