One of the most unique things about the Scouting movement, is that it is year-round. While sports and most clubs have their seasons, Scouting never stops!
As adult participants in Scouting, it is our job to keep the program going during the summer. Cub Scout parents should be sure that their pack is actively working on the Summertime Pack Award (http://www.scouting.org/filestore/pdf/33748.pdf). And, every Cub Scout should enjoy a week at day camp. Our district will be holding day camp on June 9-13 at Spruce Creek Park.
Boy Scouts and Venturers enjoy a week-long outing during the summer. No matter where they go, summer camp is the most important thing that these Scouts can do all year.
The summer is also a very important time for planning and preparing. Special focus on calendar planning, leadership development, and budget preparation will make your unit much, much stronger. You can start by having your parents and committee attend the Ideal Year of Scouting workshop.
Please be sure that your Scouts are getting the best summer program they can get!
