Fun with Son--Cub Camping

Another perfect weekend at Camp Rock Enon.

Fishing, BB guns, archery, obstacle course, and tons of nature.

Cub Scouts and an adult can camp 25-26 APR 2009 in the quiet of Camp Rock Enon.

$40 covers a Scout and an adult for all of their food and the Scout's t-shirt.

Don't miss a great opportunity to spend time with your Scout (or parent!) at "The Rock"!

More details:  registration is due by 12 April (no walk-ins!)

Camp Rock Enon Beaver Day 2009

This Saturday, you can help get Camp Rock Enon ready for the 2009 camping season.

Bring your favorite tools, work clothes and gloves.

Scouts, friends and family are all welcome to help out.

Current weather report is good!  In fact, it looks GORE-geous!

Projects will cover everything from spreading grass seed to electrical work.

OH!  And don't forget the FREE LUNCH!

More details here:  CRE Beaver Day

Come out and be a busy beaver!  Call the office at 540-662-2551 and let them know.

2009 Webelos Crossover at Camp Rock Enon

Webelos Crossover is coming up fast!  Our Webelos are aging out into the Boy Scout troops of their choice.

The main event will be at Camp Rock Enon from 03-05 APR 2009.  Past years have brought everything from great camping, to soggy, dripping 40 degree days and windstorms at night--OK, still great camping.

"Be prepared" indeed!

Each boy comes a Webelos Scout and leaves a Boy Scout.  The weekend is full of activity, including all of the requirements for Scout and Tenderfoot (the final test of the Tenderfoot physical fitness is done with the new troop in 30 days).  Each boy will make the move from shooting BB guns to .22 rifles.  Leatherwork merit badges are earned by all.  

The deadline for getting in your paperwork is 20 MAR.  They will not accept registrations after this date, so contact the Scout Office at 540-662-2551 and get signed up!

Webelos Scouts:  $40

Adults:  $20

Boy Scouts who come up for the ceremony and plan to camp overnight need to register by then too.  They can pre-purchase dinner when they register for $5.

This is a great experience for your Scouts to get them started down the trail to Eagle.

"The Rock" Rocks

About 10 Scouters, professional and volunteer, gathered today to walk through every area, building and outhouse at Camp Rock Enon.

The camp inspection is a vital part of making sure all the big stuff, and lots of the little stuff, gets squared away before CRE is open for the summer camp season.

(By the way, there are still a few slots open for the 2 Cub Resident Camp weeks at the end of June and beginning of July!  Don't delay!)

Three of the campsites are scheduled to have new latrines built before camp begins.  That will only leave 3 of the old ones still around!  

The weather was a perfect 77 degrees with plenty of sun and no bugs.  It was a great day to get out and see the Rock.  

You won't be disappointed when you come this year.  Everything is shaping up for another big year, with record attendance.

Are you coming to Camp Rock Enon this summer?  What unit and which week?
