Resident Camp 2019 Details
Hello Friends,
I am excited to say, it’s Resident Camp time again! We received our campsite assignment and we are in Kit Carson. (For those who went last year, it’s the same campsite!) For those who have not been before, the campsite has Adirondack cabins. (They are cabins without doors.) You will want to bring a tarp to cover the entry. The nails are already in place. No tents or air mattresses needed (unless your child will not sleep with the other scouts in their cabin). There will be 6 mattresses in each of the 6 cabins. Resident Camp can be very hot, you may want to bring sheets and a thin blanket instead of a sleeping bag.
Check-in (can be very confusing, please read) – Please arrive at the campsite between 1:00 and 1:30 pm, Wednesday. We are NOT to be at the campsite before 1:00 this year. You will see signs to go to other locations for check-in, that is for the Pack Leader, please go straight to Kit Carson (see the above map, when you enter Camp, stay to the right) and wait for further instructions for pack check-in. (Which we will do together once everyone has arrived. The address at Raven Knob is 266 Raven Knob Rd, Mount Airy, NC 27030 and the camp phone number is (336) 352-4307.
Forms – I will have all the forms. I will give the parents their and their scouts’ medical forms, scouts’ outdoor forms and YTP paperwork. You must show your paperwork at pack check in, please take it with you. You will go over your and your scout’s medical forms with the health staff at pack check in.
Swim Check Forms – I have attached the swim check form to this email. If you would like to have a BSA Certified Life Guard (Red Cross Life Guards are BSA certified) to perform your scout’s swim check before we arrive at camp, please feel free. They will just need to fill out the Swim Check Form. You can then bring it with you to camp to turn in at the same time we turn in our health forms. Ty Brown has also made arrangements for Swim Checks this weekend at his pool. Please see previous email or you may reach Ty via text or call at 336-407-8145. Swim check can also be completed after arriving at camp.
Meals – All meals are eaten at the dining hall. We may have s’mores one night at our campsite as a pack. Class A Uniforms should be worn for supper unless directed otherwise by Mack Moore
Campfires– This year there will be an opening campfire (this requires class A uniforms) for Resident Camp. There will be a closing ceremony Saturday morning after breakfast, where awards and ribbons will be given.
Please watch the weather forecast and bring clothing accordingly.
Suggested Packing List:
- Cub Scout Rank Book (the boy scouts that run the sessions can sign off on completed parts of loops, pins and badges)

Dining Hall Tables: Our Pack will be assigned tables in the dining hall for the duration of our stay at Resident Camp. It is every scout in our group’s responsibility to clean up the tables after each meal. This includes clearing all the dishes and trash, taking the trash to the dumpster, wiping down the tables and sweeping the floor under the table. It is expected that each scout will perform a particular role each meal.
Waiter Duty: Every den gets the chance to be a “waiter” at camp. That means that you and your scout(s) will go to the Dining Hall 15 minutes early when it is your turn and set up our pack tables. You will be responsible for getting the silverware, cups, drinks and meal specific extras for our tables. If you are late or don’t remember to go, our pack tables will not be ready when the pack comes to eat. Most Scouts like to be waiters because they get to be first in line to get their food!
I can’t wait to see you all there,
Hope

Swim Checks for Resident Camp TODAY!!
Hi Everyone,
For those going to Resident Camp, there will be a swim check today at 2:00 PM at the William G White YMCA if desired. You may also complete swim checks at camp after health checks and tours, it just simplifies things if you are able to do it in advance. Thank you Mr. Paul Young for arranging this check according to BSA Guidelines. His number is 336-403-9134. My apologies for the late notice. Below is the information on the 3 swimming levels and for what skills they will be checking.
The three swim classifications recognized by the BSA are Swimmers, Beginners, and Nonswimmers.
Swimmers must pass this test: Jump feetfirst into water over the head in depth. Level off and swim 75 yards in a strong manner using one or more of the following strokes: sidestroke, breaststroke, trudgen, or crawl; then swim 25 yards using an easy resting backstroke. The 100 yards must be completed in one swim without stops and must include at least one sharp turn. After completing the swim, rest by floating.
Beginners must pass this test: Jump feetfirst into water over the head in depth, level off, and swim 25 feet on the surface. Stop, turn sharply, resume swimming, and return to the starting place.
Nonswimmers: Anyone who has not completed either the beginner or swimmer tests is classified as a nonswimmer.
All aquatics activities at Camp Raven Knob take place in Lake Sobotta, which has very different characteristics from a pool. The aquatics staff reserves the right to re-test any Scout, leader, or unit at any time.
Thanks,
Hope

Cub Scout Resident Camp at Camp Raven Knob is June 12 – 15. (Please note that is a Wed – Sat, and you WILL NEED OFF WORK to get there by noon Wed.) The theme this year is Raven’s Zoo! Resident camp is for Scouts who will be Tigers (after Advancement in May, so CURRENT Lions!) through Webelos and a parent or adult chaperone. We would love for all of our scouts to get to attend camp as it is so good for the scouts! They learn so much at this camp and work on requirements. I can’t emphasize enough how important and good it is for our scouts to go on this event! The pack helps subsidize your cost. The Raven Knob cost to the pack is $140 per Scout and $75 per adult. We are asking you to pay $75 per Scout and $45 per adult. We can break this into two payments of $60 each. 1st payment is due by April 23 and the 2nd will be due May 14. If you would like to purchase a group picture that is made when we check our group in, it will be $10 extra payable on either date. T-shirts are included in the price. Financial Assistance is available through the Old Hickory Council if it is needed, please see me at the table or email me to request a form. It will be kept confindential.
Old Hickory Council’s Cub Scout Day Camp will be July 8-11 at Piney Grove Park. The deadline is June 30th. Click this link to be redirected to the council’s registration page.

Pack Hike Details for 4/6/19
The details for the Pack Hike which is taking place this Saturday, April 6th are as follows:
Location & Time:
§ The hike is planned to take place at Hanging Rock State Park.
§ The address is 1700 Hanging Rock Park Road, Danbury, NC 27106-7417.
§ The Visitor Center phone number is 336-593-8480.
§ You can visit the Website: https://www.ncparks.gov/
Timing:
§ Please arrive at 12:30 pm.
§ We will meet in front of the visitor’s center.
§ Please check in with Hope or the Leader with the clipboard, as we have the event list of participants. If your schedule changes and you are not coming or you run into travel issues and will be late, please contact Hope at 615-516-8922 as cell reception allows. We will be looking for you if you are on the sign up list.
§ You may leave anytime after the cookout.
Plan:
§ The park rangers will have games for the scouts at 1:00 PM. The games will last approximately 40 minutes.
§ The hike will begin around 1:40 pm. We will be hiking in one big group made up of smaller groups based on den.
§ We will hike the Hanging Rock Trail (1.3 miles) provided the rangers feel it is safe, given it is supposed to rain Friday, but be beautiful Saturday.
§ The trail is wide and has a gravel surface for most of its length, but becomes more narrow and rocky near the top. This trail, although short, is rated “more difficult” since it climbs steeply and has some obstacles.
§ Parents: to ensure everyone’s safety, please stay with your children at all times (unless you have arranged for another able adult to accompany them). This is a “must” since the terrain can be treacherous. We request that your child be within arms length of you.
§ Please check in with the Leader with the Clipboard (or the Leader with the clipboard) once you are off the trail. If you don’t check in, we will assume you are still on the trail and if we can not locate you within a reasonable amount of time,
we will begin combing the trail with the Ranger looking for you and your family.
§ At present, we are planning to have dinner served at the picnic tables past the Visitor’s Center, if that changes we will let everyone know.
What to bring:
§ Please wear class B uniform (pack or cub scout t-shirt) for this event.
§ Please bring a side dish to go with hot dogs if your last name begins with letters A – O. If your last name begins with letters P – Z, please bring a dessert. We have a total of 95 people signed up for this event. (Keep in mind we do have children with allergies, please mark your foods that may have nut contamination.
§ Wear sunscreen
§ Bring a light jacket or rain poncho for weather
§ Bring a reusable water bottle. We will NOT have plastic cups available.
Cookout
§ . We will be having hotdogs grilled at the picnic area! We will have bottled waters to drink. (I may also bring some lemonade.)
I look forward to seeing you there,
Hope
