Cub Scout Day Camp 2013
(for Cub Scouts & Families)
It is with great regret that we must share with our Cub Scout families that there will be no Cub Scout Day Camps taking place in Mayflower District this summer. This has been caused by a variety of factors beyond the control of any one volunteer.
Rest assured that plans are being made already to bring Day Camp back to this District for the summer of 2014.
If you would like to help to ensure that 2014 is the most awesome Day Camp yet, please contact Luke Johnson (tenskwatawa@gmail.com) to volunteer to help.
Fall Camporee 2013 – Case of the Missing Camporee
(for Ventures & Boy Scouts)
Location: PACCAR Chalfont Heights Scout Camp
Dates: 4-6 October 2013
Registration due by 20 September 2013
A most horrible thing has occurred! The awards for the camporee have been stolen. We need your help now to piece together the clues and find out who stole them, how it was done and where have they been taken. Only with your hard work will we be able to discover if the thief was Inspector Dijon Mustard or Professor Plum Confused, or if the awards were stolen through the use of trained flying reindeer or if the culprit used an ice cream scoop to tunnel into the award storage. Once we have the thief, we need to recover the awards and only with your help will we identify if the hiding place is That Oak Tree There or the Lost Camp of the Namassakett.
To piece together the clues, your patrol must complete the challenges and obtain the clue cards to eliminate the possibilities. For in the words of Sherlock Holmes, “once you eliminate the impossible, whatever you have left, however improbable, must be the truth.”
The Information Pack (coming soon). Contact Luke Johnson (tenskwatawa@gmail.com) to register or to get more information.

Merit Badge University 2014
(for Boy Scouts)
Location: RAF Alconbury
Date: 25 January 2014
Registration: Counselors to register by 1 December 2013
MB Schedule available online from 1 December 2013
Scouts to register by 5 January 2014
Merit Badge University is an awesome opportunity for our Troops to pool resources so that Scouts can have the opportunity to work on merit badges which may not be available within a particular troop. How about learning Law merit badge with a lawyer for a Fortune 100 company? How about taking Theatre merit badge from a professional actor? Those are the sort of opportunities which we want to make happen for our Scouts.
As a result of last year’s feedback, we have implemented more changes this year to make this already incredible extravaganza of advancement even better. Please read the info packet carefully for the full changes but some key changes are:
- At the request of the security forces on RAF Alconbury, we must provide the passport details of all non-DOD cardholders on 5 January 2014 to the base security for vetting. Any non-DOD cardholders who do not provide their details in advance of this deadline will not be able to attend.
- The merit badge schedule and prep work is available as a Google doc spreadsheet from a link on this page. The spreadsheet will be kept updated as classes are filled or additional classes are opened.
The Information Pack (coming soon). Contact Terry Rocha (tar70@yahoo.com) to get more information.
