Greetings!
 A successful summer camp begins with good preparation. An important first step is reviewing the manual for your summer camp.
All 2011 summer camp manuals--for Webelos, Boy Scouts and Venturers--can be downloaded from the website. Here are the links:
Boy Scout Summer Camp at the S bar F Scout Ranch (PDF)
Boy Scout Summer Camp at Camp Lewallen (PDF)
Webelos Camp at Camp May (PDF)
Webelos Mini-Camp at Camp Lewallen (PDF)
Webelos Mini-Camp at Camp May (PDF)
Webelos Mini-Camp at Pine Ridge (PDF)

This year's manuals were redesigned and reorganized. We hope Scouts, leaders and parents will be able to find information more easily and
Plan to attend the camp preview meetings:
Boy Scout summer camp: Saturday, April 9, at Camp Lewallen and Beaumont Scout Reservation.
Webelos Camp and Mini-Camp: Saturday, May 7, at Beaumont Scout Reservation.
