There are a limited number of openings for adult volunteers each week at Cub Scout Day Camp.  If you are interested, complete an application and mail it with your son's registration form.  You will be contacted for an interview.

Medication Dispensing Policy

• Each Cub Scout must have a BSA Annual Health and Medical Record on file at camp to participate.
• The medications section on Part A of the Annual Health and Medical Record must be completed by the parent and health care provider and and reviewed by the Camp Health Officer.

Refund Policy

In all programs offered by the Patriots’ Path Council, BSA, a great deal of planning and purchasing takes place well in advance.  These plans include, but are not limited to, staff, food, program materials, patches and awards, rental and purchase of equipment, and in some cases, items of clothing such as T-shirts that are given as part of a program fee.

 When an individual or group makes a reservation for an activity or program, these items are included in ordering of materials and staffing for that event. 

Refunds: Individuals or groups that cancel a program reservation 30 days prior to the date of the event will receive a refund of fees paid, less a 15% administrative charge.  No refunds will be made after the 30 day cancellation deadline, unless there is a medical or other emergency.

All cancellations must be made in writing and sent to
