FunPack Weekend 2012
|
| There is no better way to enjoy the outdoor program of Cub Scouting
than to attend one of our popular FunPack Weekends. Each weekend
offers a great opportunity to experience the excitement of overnight camping
with your son.
2012 FunPack Theme
Our Theme for FunPacks will be “Wild West Adventures”!!! Our FunPack
Weekend buckaroos will join with other young whippersnappers and explore
the hidden valleys full of gold and wild adventures with lots of fun activities
along with the chance to explore the great outdoors, learn new skills and
enjoy being a kid! Our Saturday evening campfire will be a fun-filled
Hoe Down for all of our buckaroos so bring your wild west’ costumes and
join the staff for lots of fun! |

A Great Pack Activity!
|
 |
Our purpose for the FunPack Weekend is to provide an environment to
strengthen the parent/child relationship and introduce you to the fun and
adventure of camping. Most Cub Scout Packs choose a particular weekend
or weekends to attend and register together as a pack. Use this activity
to qualify for the Summertime Pack Award or the new Cub Scout Outdoor Activity
Award!
Sorry, but due to space restrictions, siblings are not allowed at FunPacks!
Camp will provide the campsites with tents and cots along with a great
program! The pack is responsible for food and cooking at all FunPack Weekends.
Most packs find that this can be a very fun activity in itself.
During the day, you will experience exciting activities! Enjoy your
time at the Craftshop, BB & archery ranges, swimming, sports, nature
hikes and games! As evening comes wind down with a quiet campfire and enjoy
the fellowship of your pack in your site. Marshmallows and s’mores
are a must! |

How to Sign-up
|
| Most Cub Scout Packs choose a particular weekend to attend and register
together as a pack under the person designated as the FunPack Weekend Coordinator.
Choose a date and let all of your families know as early as possible with
a deadline for when to get their money into the Pack to reserve their spot
as space allows. Once the majority of families have decided to attend,
send in your Pack reservation with the money due to Pine Tree Council.
You can then add additional families to your counts once reserved for a
specific weekend.
Some packs may choose to attend more than one weekend if you have a
very large group or not all can attend the same weekend. If just
a few can attend- sign up and we will place you in a campsite with other
small groups! If you have families that want to camp together- check out
our Family Camp!

Check-in Suggestions
|
 |
To try to help the FunPack Weekend Saturday morning check-in at Camp
Hinds go as smoothly as possible- here are some suggestions for your Pack!
-
Try to carpool and arrive as a group as much as possible!
-
Have two adult leaders attend the Leaders Meeting at 9 AM at the Tabor
Retreat (next to the parking lot). At this meeting, they will receive
camp updates, campsite assignments and vehicle passes.
-
Bring a copy of your pack roster to the leader’s Meeting.
-
Other adults can load camping and personal gear into a couple of pack vehicles
to prepare for moving into camp.
-
Send the Cub Scouts along with a couple of adults to help with crowd control
to Cadigan Cabin (the log cabin next to the parking lot.) Here the
Cubs can make a sea craft while waiting for camp to open!
-
When the camp gates open for the morning, parents and Cubs will hike into
their campsite and begin setting up camp! One equipment vehicle per
pack will be allowed to drive to the campsite and unload. Once unloaded
the vehicle can return to the parking lot and give the vehicle pass to
another vehicle if necessary.
-
Safety Reminders- please remind everyone that the parking lot is a busy
place- watch for moving vehicles and us the buddy system, no one can ride
in the back of a truck, and vehicles are not allowed to be kept in the
campsites!
-
Health Forms- everyone attending must have one- this includes adults!
It does not require a doctors’ physical. Health forms will be collected
at the health lodge medical check-in.
-
Packs in the campsites on the Tenny side of camp- which includes Maguire,
Brownsea and Bailey, will report as a group to the health lodge at 10 AM.
Bring your health forms with you.
-
Everyone must report to the Camp Orientation Meeting at 10:30 AM at the
Main Waterfront ~ Retreat Area.
-
Packs on the main side of camp will then go to the health lodge for their
medical check-in after the camp orientation meeting. Make sure you
bring your health forms with you!
