PURPOSE

The purpose of this event is to give Webelos Scouts the opportunity to experience outdoor activities similar to the Camporees that take place in Boy Scouts; overnight weekend camping with advancement opportunities, fellowship, and fun.

This event is the result of a joint effort between youth Firecrafter and Order of the Arrow members in the Del-Mi District.  For 2010, the Encampment will again be back in main camp Kikthawenund.

Registration will take place in the Dining Hall Friday night, between 5:00 and 9:00, and Saturday morning between 8:00 and 10:00. Please complete the Registration Form in this packet, including the roster, and bring it with you to the Encampment.

A $25 reservation fee must be submitted with your pre-registration. This can be applied to unit registration fees. If your unit cancels before October 1, this reservation fee will be returned. Make checks payable to Prairie Valley Firecrafter.

MEDICAL FORMS: ALL participants must turn in a completed Annual Health and Medical Record (Parts A and C only) at registration. No one will be allowed to stay overnight without this form. A copy is provided in this packet. Please copy it for all your participants.

PRE-REGISTRATION: All Patrols should Pre-Register using the form in this packet. This is necessary to allow us to prepare for your arrival. If you do not Pre-Register, camping space could be a problem.

PARENT PERMISSION FORMS: Each unit is encouraged to obtain parent permission for each Scout attending the event. This provides you with emergency phone numbers and provides parents with information about the event. A sample is provided in this packet or online at scouting.org.

VEHICLE PASSES: Packs are encouraged to use the wheeled carts to take equipment back to campsites. Each unit will receive ONE vehicle pass for the purpose of hauling a trailer to the campsite. The pass may not be transferred to other vehicles. After dropping the trailer all vehicles must return to the parking lot and the pass returned to the registration desk. Trailers are allowed to stay in the campsites; however, NO VEHICLES WILL BE ALLOWED TO REMAIN IN THE CAMPSITES. No vehicles will be allowed to drive back to the campsites after 9 pm on Friday, anytime on Saturday, or before 9:30 on Sunday.

CAMPSITES: Units will have to share campsites. We’ve had excellent cooperation in the past, but wanted to make you aware that you might have close neighbors. Your Pre-Registration will help us plan the best fit for all.

AWARDS will be handed out at the Scouts’ Own service. If you don’t attend, you will need to pick them up at the next Roundtable.

The registration packet provides more details as well as contact information in case you have questions.
