SCOUT’N ABOUT
(Stories about Scouts by Scouts)
This section is for  boys to write stories about their Scouting experiences 
which they would like to  share. It can be about something they did during 
den meetings or Pack  activities, including things like family camp, the 
Pinewood Derby, or earning  belt loops. There should be an achievement in every 
rank so writing will help  towards rank advancement.

Pack  Family Camping (Graduation Weekend) May 7-9,  Spring Lake Park,  
Baldwin    Pack overnighters are pack-organized overnight camping  activities 
involving more than one family from the pack, with the program  focused on 
age-appropriate Cub Scout activities and conducted at a Council  Approved Pack 
Camping Location. If nonmembers (siblings) participate, the  program is 
structured to accommodate them. 
This type of activity may well be  the first time a Cub Scout and his 
family has to experience the fun and  excitement of camping in the outdoors. 
Careful program planning and adherence to  the BSA's health and safety policies 
found in the Guide to Safe Scouting and  Youth Protection guidelines assures 
a positive experience for the pack, the Cub  Scout and his family.
To begin with, each youth member must be under the  supervision of a parent 
or guardian and, in all cases, each youth participant is  responsible to a 
specific adult who is on the overnight. Adults giving  leadership to a pack 
overnighter must complete Basic Adult Leader Outdoor  Orientation (BALOO 
Training), and be present on the campout as well.  BALOO  trains participants 
to properly understand the importance of program intent,  Youth Protection 
guidelines, health and safety, site selection, age-appropriate  activities, 
and sufficient adult participation.  BALOO is offered in  Lawrence on April, 
just in time for the Graduation  Weekend.
