Cub Scout Pack 870

For those who have been with for awhile or for those just joining welcome to your first Camp out email.

Pack 870 will be camping at Lake Ray Roberts on November 13, 14th and 15th.  This is our Fall Family Camping trip.  We have fun things planned like dutch oven cook off during Saturday night campfire, marshmallow gun wars and hike.

In order to organize this it is important for the Camp Out Chairs to get commitments early so that we may reserve spots so we are all together.

I am attaching the camping form which tells us if you are going and how many in your family and the cost.  The second form is Family Camping rules that must be signed and returned and lastly the Medical Form required by BSA for everyone participating.  This is a very important form and will stay with the Pack during our outings in case of an emergency.

Camp out Chairs are Jeremy and Vickie Beaver
Becky Hand will be assisting

Please feel free to call with questions.  The deadline for a decision is October 6th I would need the forms and money as the next day I will be reserving our spots and they fill up fast. If you cannot commit we may not be able to guarantee a spot after this date. October 6th for many of you will be your first Pack Meeting at Kerr Elementary we will be set up to answer questions and collect money.  

For those of you who already provided me this information thank you.

If you know you can come and want  to fill out forms and mail to us or bring by, we are at:

1219 Greenway Drive
Allen TX 75013
