August 8-10:  Cub Scout Summer Camp at Akela
      Please let me (or your den leader) know ASAP if your son will be attending!  Remember:  Pack 66 is paying $50 for each boy to attend, so your cost is only $55.  Camperships are also available, which will cover the other half of the cost  (form is attached to this email).  We also need parents to attend Camp Akela!


August 13-16 (tentative):  Webelos Camp Navajo
    Current Webelos 1 scouts can camp in the Tomahawk Scout Reservation as part of the Navajo camp program, specially geared toward Webelos.  This is a great opportunity for learning skills that will transition the boys to being Boy Scouts.  Pack 66 will also pay about half the cost for each boy, so your cost will only be $55.  We need parents to attend Camp Navajo, also!
