Pack Volunteer Requirements

Under BSA National Standards, all packs must provide chaperones at a ratio of one chaperone for every four campers. These chaperones will accompany the cubs to each of their activities, help them with the activities, and help maintain general order and discipline. Each den will be assigned a Youth Den Leader to help lead the campers through their day.

In addition to the chaperone requirement, the Lake Sammamish Cub Scout Day Camp requires each pack to provide Station Staff to lead each activity station. These station staff will be trained, preferably before camp, in what to do for their station to run smoothly. The station staff requirements vary with the number of cubs coming.

• 3 – 5 cubs                   One (1) person to lead a station one of the days of camp

• 6 –8 cubs                    Two (2) people to lead a station during the week. (One person on each of two days)

• 9 -11 cubs                   Three (3) people to lead a station during the week (One person on each of three days)

• 12 – 14 cubs               Four (4)  people to lead a station during the week. (One person on each of  four days)

• 15 – 17 cubs               Five (5) people to lead a station during the week. (One person on each of the four days, plus an additional person for one day)

• 18 – 20 cubs               Six (6) people to lead a station during the week. (One person on each of the four days, plus an additional person for two of the days)

• 20 + cubs                    Eight (8) people to lead a station during the week. (Two people on each of the four days)

Camp check-in and check-out procedures

The Lake Sammamish Cub Scout Day Camp has a STRICT check-in and check-out policy to increase the safety of the individuals that attend Day Camp. At the time of registration, each cub form should provide a list of persons acceptable to pick the cub up from day camp. In most instances, the parents will indicate that the cub will be driving home from camp in the Pack carpool.
