The Spanish Trail Camporee is fast approaching. The date is September 24th 
thru the 26th at the Coast Guard Recreation Facility on Dauphin Island. All 
WEBELOS  Scouts are invited and encouraged to visit. Although they are not allowed 
to compete againest the Boy Scouts in the events, they will be allowed to 
participate in all the activities except the boat races. 

Special requirements must be met before a camping area is approved for Cub 
Scout camping. I have completed the necessary paperwork to have the campground 
at Fort Gaines approved. The Camping Committee is set to meet on September 8th. 
The Chairman, Mark Kigerl, told me there would be no problem in getting 
approval. 

The sites have electricity and water. Restroom and bath facilities are 
available. The cost is $15.00 per site per night. The campground will allow two 
tents per site for Scouts at a cost of $7.50  per tent per night. The campground 
is right next to the Coast Guard facility. It will only be a short walk to the 
camporee. 

Make your reservation early for your Den. Call Tina Collier at the campground 
(861-2742). Make sure you file your tour permit at least two weeks prior to 
the event. Be sure the required signatures are on the front of the form. On the 
back, write "Scouts Parents will provide transportation". 

>From the Guide to Safe Scouting, Page 21 Paragraph 4 "A Webelos Scout may 
participate in overnight den camping when supervised by his  parent or guardian. 
It is essential that each Webelos Scout be under the supervision of an adult."

If you have any questions, please call me. (639-0112). On behalf of Troop 5 
and the entire District, we look forward to seeing you and your boys at the 
Fall Camporee. 

Thanks,

Jack
