  • Complete Program overhaul! Packs will create their own schedule!

2017 PROGRAM:

  • Cub Resident Camp is receiving a complete overhaul this year and going forward will be referred to as Weird Science Camp at Henson Scout Reservation
  • Packs will design and register for their own unique program by choosing from a wide variety of programs, advancements, and fun activities
  • As with in the past, if families can’t attend the session that the Pack is planning to, they are encouraged to register themselves for another session. It is not a requirement to attend with the pack.
  • If a pack is strictly interested in advancement they can fill their adventure with rank specific advancements. If a pack is interested in just having as much fun as a possible, they can fill their week with swimming, shooting, climbing, and fishing! The pack’s schedule is solely dependent on what the packs want to do and when they want to do it. (Examples of schedules are attached)
  • This format will require more planning prior to attending camp as packs will have to decide on a schedule and register for it on the website.
  • Weird Science Camp will feature science labs covering a wide base of scientific fields including:
  • Forensics Lab- fingerprinting, DNA testing, and blood typing
  • Ballistics Lab- Detailed lesson on firearms, trajectory of projectiles, and how Crime Scene Investigators use this information to recreate crime scenes
  • Chemistry Lab- learning the basics of chemistry and doing some great chemistry experiments
  • Geology Lab-
  • Biology Lab- Dissecting Owl Pellets
  • Technology Lab- Earn Cyber Chip, learn about robots and begin building Robot using Lego Mind Storms

SAME GREAT AMENITIES AS BEFORE:
