Twilight Camp is the annual fun-filled week available to all registered Cub Scouts.  This year our theme is Cub Scout Investigation.

The activities will help each of the Scouts earn credit towards their Rank Advancement, Arrowpoints, WEBELOS Activity Badges, and Sports and Academic Activities.  Tigers might also have an opportunity to complete some of their required GO SEE ITS.

You’ll receive, for your registration fee, a great looking T-shirt, a very special patch, and woodworking and craft items that you’ll make at Twilight Camp.

If you are a WEBELOS Scout and want to earn part of your Arrow of Light and Outdoorsman pin, then come join us for the Overnighter on Friday night.  The cost is an extra $10.00 per scout or $15.00 per scout/adult, which includes extra materials, park camping fee, Friday night snack, Saturday breakfast, and a special overnighter patch.  The overnighter will last from Friday night until Saturday at 11:00 AM.

For Twilight Camp to be successful, it takes all kinds of people working together.   There is a committee that meets to help plan and organize the programs and activities for the camp.  There are volunteers that help at the different stations, like games, crafts, woodworking, etc.   And last, but not least, there is one of the most important jobs: Walking Den Leader.   Walking Den Leaders make the world go around…well, they make camp go around!   As a Walking Den Leader, you are responsible for keeping track of the campers as they go from station to station and helping the campers with their station projects.   We will maintain Two Deep Leadership at all times, so each Twilight Camp den of boys cannot begin camp unless they have two (2) YPT Trained Adults with them.   That is what makes this job so critical.   Please consider coming and hanging out with your scout.   Even if you can only work one day, your scout will love having you around.
