Older Scouts, Explorers, parents and other adults are also invited to participate with our staff. Units may bring Webelos.

Breakfast on Sunday morning will be followed by camp clean-up and check-out by 11:00 am. Cooking will not be done individually; all Scouts and Scouters will eat in the dining hall. There will be three meals served on Saturday, a cracker-barrel on Friday evening, and breakfast on Sunday morning.
