Who: Any scout from Tigers to Webelos II, using his Fall 2011 rank. If your scout will be an incoming Tiger (entering 1st grade) his adult needs to attend each day too. If your scout has graduated from 5th grade (entering 6th grade or above in Fall 2011 and at least 11 years old) he can volunteer as a Junior Helper for no charge. Jr. Helpers must attend one evening of training.
Volunteers: This camp is entirely organized and staffed by volunteers. Our pack must provide one adult volunteer for every six scouts attending. Adults attending all day for all the five days will receive a steep discount on the registration fee for one scout. Also, adults volunteering all week will be able to bring their potty-trained to pre-school age child to the TAG program for $25. Every adult that attends camp, even if for only half a day, needs to take the “Youth Protection Training”, needs to register as a volunteer, and fill out a medical form. Adult volunteers must attend one evening of training.
Registering for camp requires three steps:
- Register at: http://www.bsa-mdsc.org/meridian/daycamp.php
- Print, fill out, and sign the medical form. Attach a copy of BOTH sides of your scout’s insurance card.
- Turn in a copy of your registration and your filled out medical form to me at home or at a Pack Meeting. There is so much paperwork, they are asking that each pack camp coordinator handle the paperwork for their own pack scouts. Every person at camp must register and turn in a medical form with a copy of his registration receipt.
Please feel free to email or call me with questions.
Thanks.

Pack 1776 Day Camp Coordinator
