What is a Winter Camp?
    
Winter Camp at Camp Sol Mayer is a unique opportunity for Scouts to work toward merit badges required for the rank of Eagle Scout, in the indoor/outdoor experience.  Yes! Even with chill in the air, each Scout will work on merit badges, most of which are not normally offered during a summer camp program.

Where is Winter Camp?
        
Winter Camp will be at Camp Sol Mayer, located 3 miles east of Ft. McKavett, TX on FM 864,  20 miles West Menard, Texas.

Cost of Camp Session
    
The camp fee will be $100.00 per Scout for the week due by December 17th.  The camp fee covers meals, program materials, insurance, required staff, and a patch.  The Leader's fee will be $50.00 unless you volunteer to help teach a Merit Badge or help in the Dining Hall.

***Volunteer staff will be needed and your support is necessary.  We will have an Adult Advancement opportunity where adults from your unit will assist or teach merit badges appropriate for the season.  There is no cost for Adults who are teaching a Merit Badge.

Please contact Dennis Luellen or the Council Office  if you have any questions or for more information @    or

Den Chief Fast Start Training

Den Chiefs are  key to retaining boys at all levels of Cub Scouting and during the final transition to Boy Scouting.  Ironically, however, these Boy Scouts or Venturers all too often aren't fully trained to handle the scope of their responsibilities and waiting for the next scheduled training session can take months.  What's a den chief to do?
         
Den Chief Fast Start Training is the answer!!! This valuable resources, available online at http://olc.scouting.org, lets new den chiefs jump right into learning the ins and outs of their new role. There's no better start than a Fast Start!!
