Fwd: Volunteer Planned Cuboree Open For Registration (Triune District)

Email not displaying correctly? View it in your browser. Cuboree Planned For (and by) Local Packs Cub Scout Camping is Back! Over the past 18 months, scouting has surged in the City of Philadelphia, exposing Philadelphia youth to citizenship, adventures, archery, camping, science achievements, and so much more. The Triune District Executive, Anthony Weiss, took note of this new cadre of Cub Leadership and approached Packs 16 (White Rock Baptist Church), Pack 147 (Trinity Lutheran Church), and Pack 133 (St. Thomas African Episcopal Church) to bring back the long lost Cuboree. In January the Packs of the Triune District began meeting and immediately invited other Packs to join in and collaborate. Packs 98 and 189 joined with the other packs. Camp HART was selected for the site during the weekend of Friday, May 13 - 15, 2011. Activities are scheduled to include fishing, camp fires, hiking, and so much more! Terry Johnson, Cubmaster Pack 16 says "this is a great time for our Cubs to get re-introduced to the woods and away from the video games". Ms. Curry, Den Leader, Pack 189 added "I am looking forward to working with other Packs!". "We have gone camping before, but not this big of a camping event," stated Mr. Winfield, Cubmaster, CP 98. Mr. Wilson, the Assistant Cub Master for CP 133 remarked "scouting has a proven pathway of success for our youth. It is great that Packs from in and around Philadelphia will get a chance to scout and grow together."    Unit Sign-Up Flier Flier for Advertisement Within Unit Campership Forms Available Its that time of season! Camperships are need-based aid provided to scouts attending Cradle of Liberty sponsored camping programs.  This aid can reduce the cost of camp by up to 50%.  To apply, you will need to fill out the below application, and submit it to your Unit Leader for their certification.  Once it is certified, camperships should be submitted to Anthony Weiss (District Executive) with a 50$ deposit for each application.  All applications must be received by May 1st.  For more information, please contact Anthony Weiss.
