No camping gear will be provided. Please plan on using a hand cart to carry your tent and supplies to the upper campsites. If you will need assistance please let us know.

If you plan to attend, please add your family info here for pack planning.

Important

Since this is an official BSA event, please make sure to have your health forms filled out and remember to bring them with you as they are quite strict with these. There is also an optional BB Device permission form to complete and bring should your Scout participate. Please note Cub Scout Lions are not eligible to participate in shooting activities, however, they will be able to enjoy the archery range. I recommend you keep copies of these forms for future events so you do not have to complete them again.

Pack Fees

  • For new scouts there is also a pack fee of $120.
    • This covers basic awards, patches, neckerchief, Regatta kit, PWD car, etc.
  • For returning scouts the fee drops to $100
  • Due by 2nd pack meeting on 10/14

Pack Fee Payment Methods

Labor Day Camp

Labor Day Camp

I can’t believe the school year is right around the corner, I hope you’ve all had a wonderful summer!

We thought it would be great to jump right into scouting and join the annual Labor Day Family Camp Weekend at Camp Cheesebrough.

We’ll need to register by August 25. Please register/pay directly via the website. Please also add your family to this list so we can coordinate as a Pack.

Chesebrough is situated in a majestic redwood forest and surrounded by a rich history born of the logging industry that will transport you and your family while still being a quick drive away. During the weekend you will experience a full camp program with program areas open for your families to enjoy including:

  • Crafts
  • Nature
  • Archery
  • Air-powered BB
  • Climbing
  • Metalwork
  • Scout Skills
  • Games
  • & More

On top of this, the program will include a campfire, guided hikes, and ample time for recreation and relaxation!

This campout is an amazing opportunity to start our scouting year off with a bang and reconnect with families new and old! Please feel free to reach out should you have any questions.

Hope to see you all there!
