...

The minimum leadership requirements of any Cub Scout unit

attending camp must meet the adult-to-boy ratio of two adults

to a maximum of eight boys.

 

now this is last year's standard, so it may change for 2011.

I'll echo what John and Blanc have said - and this is what I heard fromour concil camp director:

A camp may not weaken BSA standards, but they can strengthen them. Case in point: Parents with scouts.

 

Depending on the program being offered, the number of people attending and the time of year, you could have 15 Webelos with an appropriate number of adults and leadership without a single parent being there. Not likely, but plausible.

 

But they may decide that each Webelos has to have at least one parent or legal guardian to attend the cam. Again, not likely, but plausible.

 

But that would be my council camp's standards, not yours. If it's a district event, they may decide to go tougher. Depends on the amount of leadership and staff available.

Again, not likely, but plausible.
