AdvanceCamp.com as of 09/12/09, We Are Happy to Welcome Webelos To this years AdvanceCamp.
"As we prepare to celebrate 10 years of
AdvanceCamp in 2009 we have a number of exciting things happening. First we
are inviting our younger Webelos brothers and their parents to join with us
this year with their own advancement track. We will also be kicking off the
celebration of 100 years of
Boy Scouts in America. We will have
Saturday night camping available for those who would like to stay
over 2 nights. And we are planning a scouting midway like a jamboree with
all the
scouting groups there to show off their part of scouting. In
addition, we will have a parade to celebrate scouting beginning and ending
at the Fairgrounds. Then
Saturday afternoon we will open it up to the public to learn about
scouting and having a chance for them to join scouting. Your board of
directors are hard at work planning and preparing for this years celebration
event. Join us in the most exciting AdvanceCamp ever
September 25-27, 2009."
