What is Day Camp?
Day camp is an organized one to five day program for Cub Scouts and Webelos Scouts conducted by the Rainbow Council under certified leadership at an approved site. Day camps are conducted during daylight or early evening hours. Day camps do not include any overnight activities. Certification of the day camp director and program director is provided through the National Camping School. All day camps shall be conducted in accordance with established standards as provided in National Standards for Cub Scout/Webelos Scout Day Camps

Cub Scout Day Camp will be one of the most memorable experiences for you and your son to share. At Day Camp, Cub Scouts have the opportunity to learn new skills, enhance old ones and work towards rank requirements, but most of all, to have LOTS of FUN!! In keeping with the purpose of Scouting, the camp program has been designed to promote character development, citizenship training, and both mental and physical development.

There are three opportunities for Day Camp within Rainbow Council:

Bolingbrook Day Camp, June 9-13
Bolingbrook Village Hall

Mon hours:	5:30 pm – 6:30 pm (registration and orientation)

RSR Day Camp (twilight camp)

While you are encouraged to attend a day camp that works best for you, most of our pack attends the Bolingbrook Day Camp and that's where our primary focus is. If for any reason you need to attend the Frankfort Square or Rainbow Council Twilight Daycamp, we'll make arrangements to get your scout registered there.

Highlights of the Parent Guide and Key Information

	In order to make this the best experience possible for your son, we need your help. Every Scout is expected to have a parent or guardian volunteer at least one day to work as a Day Walker Leader. Each Pack must also supply staff to help run camp with a ratio of approximately 1 staff member per 5-10 Scouts.
