We have a tot lot, but just for tots and they still participate in opening and closing. Siblings are in the groups. I don't think this was an open to the public camp thing just a sibling of a scout thing and they are right there with the boys. Our camp is all week 9 to 3, but I am just wondering what exactly I am getting for the money. No one has mentioned that it is a fundraiser for council, so I am just curiouse.

Next year I fully intend to get involved, this year I had a baby so he kind of decided for me.

This week we are having our Cub Scout day camp. My first question is when exactly did national okay for girls and toddlers to be part of day camp. In my sons tiger group half of the kids are girls, albeit siblings of scouts, but girls non the less that are doing everything the boys do. Plus they are allowing the toddlers they are watching in a special area be part of the opening and closing ceremonies and preforming skits, as best they can. The camp had their BSA inspection yesterday so someone at a higher level signed off on this. My husband who is an eagle is livid.

Second question... do camp directors have to have an accounting of where they spent the money. This year camp cost eighty dollars and they had about seventy five kiddos so they had a great budget but walking into the facility I am wondering where the money went. The camp is held at the local colasium, in a smaller side building, but it looks like they spent twenty dollars on decorations. So I figured they must have some pretty awsome activities. Ya, uh my kid came home with a painted river rock. The kind you find in your back yard.

Third... Shouldn't the camp director have made sure everything was ready before the doors opened on monday morning. It is now wendsday and they still are running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Yesturday at pick up they had no clue how they were going to work getting the kids to the cars and started calling kids names before they were even done picking up their stuff and heading to the front. This seems increadably disorganized. It's not like they found out they were having camp a week ago. They have been planning this since the begining of the year.

I am not trying to be difficult, but how do I explain this to my pack parents and tell them our council allowed it. This is not at all the experience I was told it should be.
