Summer is the time to sign up NEW Tigers
As the weather gets hot it is time to start thinking about friends and family that have Kindergarten aged boys. These boys can start signing up to be Cub Scouts now. A boy who signs up now can enjoy a number of summer activities that he otherwise would have to wait most of a year to participate in if he signs up in the fall. For more information about the Very Important Tiger program contact Rick Suhrbier.

THREE
RIVERS CAMP AKELA is approaching!
Currently we have doubled the number of
Scouts registered last year and expect even more as summer family schedules are
finalized. The boys will have a great time and so will the volunteers! No
better bargain at $100 for a full week of fun.
Special events this year include
BB Guns and wrist-rocket ranges, Trail bike day, fishing rod casting contests,
radio-operated boat races, Tiger Day, a dunking tank and other water activities,
a flying military aircraft display, and a chicken BBQ on Friday.
All the
regular activities such as archery, swimming, crafts, scout skills, sporting
events are included for a week packed full of fun! You may have a problem with
the boys falling asleep on the ride home!
The Day Camp Committee is looking for
volunteers in all aspects. You can volunteer for full day(s) or special
events. If you are interested in having some fun, take off work and join in by
contacting Jeff Martin at jmartin@rcc.com or
302-354-0662.
