Boy Scouts of America | Hawkeye Area Council

We will be hosting important informational meetings at various locations during the next three months for anyone wanting to find out what we have in store for our Cub Scout and Boy Scout Camps in 2012. Cub Scout and Boy Scout sessions will run concurrently this year beginning at 7:00 p.m. each night. Each unit should identify a Camping Coordinator to facilitate the recruitment and registration process for all summer camping activities. At the meeting, they will receive a combined media disc with all the information they need to do their job. For Cub Scout leaders, we’ll also walk through the on-line registration process and cover the changes we have made.
