2 Dear Cub Scout Leader: Did you know? Camp Rock Enon is going to be filled with young Mad Scientists this year during Cub Resident Camp? Our visiting Mad Scientists will get to enjoy science experiments, chemical reactions, physics, star gazing and much more, all centered around the Great Outdoors. We recognize that you and your pack have a number of camps out there to consider attending for Cub Resident Camp and thank you for considering Camp Rock Enon (CRE) for your Cub Scout summer destination! We are excited to offer you and your Cubs a meaningful and quality program designed around this year s theme Mad Scientist. In conjunction with our regular paid Summer Camp Staff, we are putting together a team of volunteers Expert Scientists to design and implement the program. Program details will be released in early Spring. We will have programs for the Tigers, Wolfs, Bears, and Webelos. You read that correctly, we listened to our families and added a program for Tiger Cubs and their Adult Partner. To accommodate our increased attendance and the Tiger Program, we added another session. Both sessions will offer the same programming. Cub Scouts (Tigers, Wolfs, Bears) o Session 1 on June o Session 2 on June Webelos Session on June Youth join Scouts to be in the outdoors and to go camping. Cub Resident Camp offers the best opportunity to fulfil what the youth want in an environment that they will learn lifelong lessons. We encourage you to get 100% of your Cub Scouts to Resident Camp at CRE. For those in need of financial assistance to attend, make sure you submit the campership application (for Shenandoah Area Council Scouts only) found in the back of this guide. Independent research shows that Scouts that go camping stay in the program and Scouts that stay in the program for five years or more have an absolute spike in the values they learn and they have fun while learning. These values then become life lessons that help young people grow into happy, productive and contributing members of our great country. Thanks again for your wonderful support. ONLINE REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE NOW! Go to to register your pack to attend The Rock in 2018 and for a great adventure. If at any time you have questions or concerns regarding summer camp please contact us at the s provided below.

In any event, there could be a certain amount of anxiety and tension on the part of the legal parent or guardian. This individual may not understand or appreciate any delay in the release of the Scout and adherence to the camp security policy. Because of the legal parent or guardian's trust in the camp, we ensure the utmost care and wellbeing of the Scout. Only the Camp Director, Health Officer or Program Director may process an application for early release. In the event an individual reports to camp and requests the early release of a camper for whatever reason, the following steps MUST be followed to ensure the entrusted well-being of the youth in our care. Verification must be made to assure that the person requesting release is acting as the legal parent or guardian or under the direction of the legal parent or guardian.

15 CAMP ROCK ENON 2018 Cub Scout Resident Camp (Tigers, Wolfs, and Bears) Webelos Resident Camp PROGRAM GUIDE

16 THE PURPOSE OF RESIDENT CAMP Why do boys join Scouting? To have fun! To go camping! Why do Scouts go to summer camp? To have fun! To be in the outdoors! Six key elements of Resident Camp: Fun Adventure Outdoor Skills Ideals Service Advancement The program at Camp Rock Enon is based on Scouts learning through a fun-filled program. Some activities are strictly for fun, while others may partially or wholly complete an achievement, activity pin, or belt loop. Program is the cumulative total of all that a Scout does, sees, and learns during summer camp. It is the job of the camp staff, unit leaders, and parents to see that Scout s experience involves all of the six key elements listed above in some way. For example, if we only focus on advancement, we might be denying our Scout an exciting adventure! Our responsibility as Scout leaders is to be aware of the importance of all six elements of the program and to communicate this importance to all parents or involved persons. While we encourage each Scout to work toward advancing by completing Achievements and earning Activity badges to fulfill rank requirements, we must guard against this becoming the primary purpose of camp. We will consider our programming successful here at Camp Rock Enon if we have helped your Scouts: Become more confident as a Scout and as a person Grow spiritually Become more empowered citizens Learn life skills by participating in events Have Fun! All of that being said, the program we provide should be considered a supplement to the units own year-long program. None of our activities are required, and if different or additional programming is desired do not hesitate to ask and we will accommodate to the best of our ability. PROGRAM OVERVIEW Summer camp at CRE is filled with fun and exciting adventure for Scouts of all ages. Our 877 acres of majestic forest in the northern Shenandoah Valley of Virginia provide an unlimited supply of opportunities to make your unit s stay at CRE an experience of a lifetime. The theme for camp this year is Mad Scientist. Come prepared for tons of outdoor experiments The program will consist of science experiments, chemical reactions, physics, star gazing and much more, all centered around the Great Outdoors. Our team of Expert Scientists are currently in their labs developing and testing the program. A detail program schedule will be released in early Spring. Programs for the Tigers, Wolfs, Bears, and Webelos will be offered. Sessions offered are; Cub Scouts (Tigers, Wolfs, Bears) 75 maximum youth per session o Session 1 on June o Session 2 on June o Programming will be the same for both sessions.
