We’re Outside! We’ve Escaped the Great Indoors!
Leave the Technology at Home.
Camping events are an opportunity to be immersed in the Scouting experience, and devices like computers, gaming systems and mobile phones are distractions (not to mention, they may be lost or broken). Our pack leaders have developed a full event program for this weekend, and we don’t want your Scout to miss out!
And, a final reminder for parents – a mobile device is never a replacement for the Buddy System!
