1. Food Payment

2.  Sign Up and Volunteer:

Camp Tom Wooten is the Cub Scout Camp located in Bastrop, next to Bastrop Lake that is managed by our Capitol Area Council.  We haven't camped here before so it should be a fun adventure.  Because it gets dark a little earlier at this time of year, we'll plan to arrive earlier so we can have some fun activities during the day before our dinner and campfire.


CAMPSITES:

We have the "Elgin VFW" campsite.  They haven't updated their camp map showing the exact location so we'll find out where it is when we arrive and check in.  See the details below.


MEALS:

$10 per person pays for meals and includes snacks and dinner on Saturday and breakfast on Sunday.  Note there is no longer a separate campout fee, just the food fee.


ACTIVITIES:

There is usually a hike in the afternoon along with some other fun and games before we all get together to start cooking dinner around 5pm on Saturday evening.  Everyone lends a hand to prepare, cook and clean up before we enjoy s'mores around the campfire.   We will have other games, skits, songs, or activities for the scouts throughout the day and evening.  Sunday morning we'll have breakfast, pack up campsites, and clean up the area before heading out.


COMMUNICATION:

Emails will be sent out to the pack prior to the event.  After the signup deadline has passed and through the duration of the event, use the following group chat to get or share important information or questions.  Cell signals at the park may be spotty, so responses the day of the campout might be delayed.
