Project COPE at Yawgoog – Spring 2008
The Narragansett Council is pleased to announce that it will be offering Project COPE, Low COPE Saturdays at Yawgoog this spring in March and April. Project COPE is a customized outdoor program for Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts. It is composed of group initiative games, trust activities, and challenging low ropes course elements. Some activities involve a group challenge while others develop individual skills and agility. Project COPE is a noncompetitive activity that emphasizes the importance of teamwork. It also provides opportunities for every participant to succeed as an individual and as member of a group without creating a win-lose dynamic. Cub Scouts may participate in Low COPE only. You may attend COPE if you are camping at Yawgoog, or if you just want to come down for the day. If this program doesn’t fit your needs exactly please contact us and we would be glad to discuss developing a custom COPE experience for your unit. For more information you may speak with Steve Stratton: sstratton@narragansettbsa.org or at 401.351.8700 ext. 37

Introduction to Backpacking for Adults:
This is an introduction to backpacking to adult leaders who have never backpacked. It is our hope that leaders who participate in this program will bring these skills back to their units so that more Scouts can experience the "big woods". Leaders with backpacking experience wishing to expand their horizons should contact the High Adventure Committee regarding a custom tailored program to fit the needs of their unit.
This trek starts on the Kancamaugus Highway in Lincoln, NH. We follow the old logging railway past Franconia Brook, and on to Thirteen Falls Camp. Thirteen Falls is operated by the Appalachian Mountain Club as a back country camping area. Leaders will learn proper packing techniques, Leave No Trace camping principles, cooking on lightweight stoves, water purification techniques, the importance of keeping a clean camp in bear country, and many other skills. Most importantly, they will learn to work as a team. Topics also covered: trek planning and logistics, permitting, basic land navigation, and menu planning.
This trek is limited to 10 people, including staff, due to National Forest regulations governing travel in federally designated Wilderness Areas.
COMMITMENT - The commitment for this trip includes:
à One full Saturday to Sunday overnight camping experience at Buck Hill
à A Saturday to Sunday experience in the White Mountain National Forest
PAYMENTS - Payment due with registration
Registration deadline: September 7, 2008
Fee includes: Meals for both meetings and camping fees.

The Gift of Camp:
What a great gift to give for any occasion. Grandma, Grandpa, Aunts, and Uncles all can give the "Gift of Camp". This is a promise of a great outdoor adventure for this coming camping Season. We have two great ways to purchase the "Gift of Camp". You can do so online using our online registration system, or you can visit either of our two conveniently located Scout Shops. Once you purchase, you will receive a presentation card that is the actual gift for the Scout, you will also have a receipt from our online registration system which is what you will use when you redeem the gift. Once the Scout has decided what adventures he will take this summer, and the family registers him for that adventure, they will click the mail in payment option. Then all they need to do is bring in both receipts to either Scout Shop, or mail directly to the council office and the Scout is all set for camp.

Cub Scout Resident Camp:
What is Resident Camp?
Cub World is a three-day-two night, resident camp experience for Cub Scouts. Participants stay in one of three theme areas where our staff ensures that the theme is constant from the moment you arrive, until you head home. As a resident camp and unlike other Cub Scout camping, our ratio is one adult for every four boys, either as a Den or a Pack. Our paid staff is trained to put on the entire program to make each Cub Scout's and every adult's stay as memorable and care-free as possible. All meals, programs, materials, services and a group photo are included in your stay. A place of imagination, it is a Cub Scout vacation that will forge memories to last a lifetime.
Theme Areas
Cub World has an amusement park feel, designed specifically for "Cub-Sized" abilities and interests. Your stay will be in one of our three Theme Areas - Pease High Seas Adventure, Bridgeton Castle, and Wild West Adventure. All three theme areas include bunk houses and modern restroom facilities. Even if you've stayed in the facility during the off-season, you haven't begun to know what Cub World is like in the summer! During your stay our certified, enthusiastic staff will keep you busy from morning 'til night. Cubs and leaders alike will be part of all the fun.
Three ways to attend Cub World
Traditional (with parent)
This is a 3 day, 2 night resident (sleep over) camp, and we have shifted the program so that we have sessions that are on the Weekend! This can be done as a Pack, or as a Parent and Scout Team. Each theme area in camp follows a schedule that allows everyone to get to every program area in camp.

Space is limited so register early to assure your spot.

Introduction to Backpacking for Adults: NEW!!!
This is an introduction to backpacking to adult leaders who have never backpacked. It is our hope that leaders who participate in this program will bring these skills back to their units so that more Scouts can experience the ?big woods?. Leaders with backpacking experience wishing to expand their horizons should contact the High Adventure Committee regarding a custom tailored program to fit the needs of their unit.
This trek starts on the Kancamaugus Highway in Lincoln, NH. We follow the old logging railway past Franconia Brook, and on to Thirteen Falls Camp. Thirteen Falls is operated by the Appalachian Mountain Club as a back country camping area. Leaders will learn proper packing techniques, Leave No Trace camping principles, cooking on lightweight stoves, water purification techniques, the importance of keeping a clean camp in bear country, and many other skills. Most importantly, they will learn to work as a team. Topics also covered: trek planning and logistics, permitting, basic land navigation, and menu planning.
This trek is limited to 10 people, including staff, due to National Forest regulations governing travel in federally designated Wilderness Areas.
COMMITMENT - The commitment for this trip includes:
à One full Saturday to Sunday overnight camping experience at Buck Hill
à A Saturday to Sunday experience in the White Mountain National Forest
PAYMENTS - Payment due with registration
Registration deadline: September 7, 2008

The Gift of Camp:
What a great gift to give for any occasion. Grandma, Grandpa, Aunts, and Uncles all can give the "Gift of Camp". This is a promise of a great outdoor adventure for this coming camping Season. We have two great ways to purchase the "Gift of Camp". You can do so online using our online registration system, or you can visit either of our two conveniently located Scout Shops. Once you purchase, you will receive a presentation card that is the actual gift for the Scout, you will also have a receipt from our online registration system which is what you will use when you redeem the gift. Once the Scout has decided what adventures he will take this summer, and the family registers him for that adventure, they will click the mail in payment option. Then all they need to do is bring in both receipts to either Scout Shop, or mail directly to the council office and the Scout is all set for camp.

Cub Scout Resident Camp:
What is Resident Camp?
Cub World is a three-day-two night, resident camp experience for Cub Scouts. Participants stay in one of three theme areas where our staff ensures that the theme is constant from the moment you arrive, until you head home. As a resident camp and unlike other Cub Scout camping, our ratio is one adult for every four boys, either as a Den or a Pack. Our paid staff is trained to put on the entire program to make each Cub Scout's and every adult's stay as memorable and care-free as possible. All meals, programs, materials, services and a group photo are included in your stay. A place of imagination, it is a Cub Scout vacation that will forge memories to last a lifetime.
Theme Areas
Cub World has an amusement park feel, designed specifically for "Cub-Sized" abilities and interests. Your stay will be in one of our three Theme Areas - Pease High Seas Adventure, Bridgeton Castle, and Wild West Adventure. All three theme areas include bunk houses and modern restroom facilities. Even if you've stayed in the facility during the off-season, you haven't begun to know what Cub World is like in the summer! During your stay our certified, enthusiastic staff will keep you busy from morning 'til night. Cubs and leaders alike will be part of all the fun.
Three ways to attend Cub World
Traditional (with parent)
This is a 3 day, 2 night resident (sleep over) camp, and we have shifted the program so that we have sessions that are on the Weekend! This can be done as a Pack, or as a Parent and Scout Team. Each theme area in camp follows a schedule that allows everyone to get to every program area in camp.

Introduction to Backpacking for Adults: NEW!!!
This is an introduction to backpacking to adult leaders who have never backpacked. It is our hope that leaders who participate in this program will bring these skills back to their units so that more Scouts can experience the ?big woods?. Leaders with backpacking experience wishing to expand their horizons should contact the High Adventure Committee regarding a custom tailored program to fit the needs of their unit.
This trek starts on the Kancamaugus Highway in Lincoln, NH. We follow the old logging railway past Franconia Brook, and on to Thirteen Falls Camp. Thirteen Falls is operated by the Appalachian Mountain Club as a back country camping area. Leaders will learn proper packing techniques, Leave No Trace camping principles, cooking on lightweight stoves, water purification techniques, the importance of keeping a clean camp in bear country, and many other skills. Most importantly, they will learn to work as a team. Topics also covered: trek planning and logistics, permitting, basic land navigation, and menu planning.
This trek is limited to 10 people, including staff, due to National Forest regulations governing travel in federally designated Wilderness Areas.
COMMITMENT - The commitment for this trip includes:
à One full Saturday to Sunday overnight camping experience at Buck Hill
à A Saturday to Sunday experience in the White Mountain National Forest

The Gift of Camp:
What a great gift to give for any occasion. Grandma, Grandpa, Aunts, and Uncles all can give the "Gift of Camp". This is a promise of a great outdoor adventure for this coming camping Season. We have two great ways to purchase the "Gift of Camp". You can do so online using our online registration system, or you can visit either of our two conveniently located Scout Shops. Once you purchase, you will receive a presentation card that is the actual gift for the Scout, you will also have a receipt from our online registration system which is what you will use when you redeem the gift. Once the Scout has decided what adventures he will take this summer, and the family registers him for that adventure, they will click the mail in payment option. Then all they need to do is bring in both receipts to either Scout Shop, or mail directly to the council office and the Scout is all set for camp.

Cub Scout Resident Camp:
What is Resident Camp?
Cub World is a three-day-two night, resident camp experience for Cub Scouts. Participants stay in one of three theme areas where our staff ensures that the theme is constant from the moment you arrive, until you head home. As a resident camp and unlike other Cub Scout camping, our ratio is one adult for every four boys, either as a Den or a Pack. Our paid staff is trained to put on the entire program to make each Cub Scout's and every adult's stay as memorable and care-free as possible. All meals, programs, materials, services and a group photo are included in your stay. A place of imagination, it is a Cub Scout vacation that will forge memories to last a lifetime.
Theme Areas
Cub World has an amusement park feel, designed specifically for "Cub-Sized" abilities and interests. Your stay will be in one of our three Theme Areas - Pease High Seas Adventure, Bridgeton Castle, and Wild West Adventure. All three theme areas include bunk houses and modern restroom facilities. Even if you've stayed in the facility during the off-season, you haven't begun to know what Cub World is like in the summer! During your stay our certified, enthusiastic staff will keep you busy from morning 'til night. Cubs and leaders alike will be part of all the fun.
Three ways to attend Cub World
Traditional (with parent)
This is a 3 day, 2 night resident (sleep over) camp, and we have shifted the program so that we have sessions that are on the Weekend! This can be done as a Pack, or as a Parent and Scout Team. Each theme area in camp follows a schedule that allows everyone to get to every program area in camp.

Provisional (without parent)
This is also a 3 day, 2 night resident (sleep over) camp, but this is for a Scout only. Supervision for these Scouts will be provided by the Cub World Staff. This gives the Scout who might not be able to attend camp with a parent or their pack the opportunity to enjoy Cub World, also a great opportunity for a Scout who attends Cub World and loves it to come stay another session. Space is limited so register early to assure your spot.

Short-term Camping Opportunities
As we know, boys join Scouting to go camping and spend time in the outdoors. To help support units deliver the outdoor program the Narragansett Council owns and operates eight fine camping facilities. They are:
Buck Hill Reservation - Pascoag, RI
Each camp has a variety of facilities and Campmaster Corps that will assist you in providing a great outdoor program for your boys.
This summer we are pleased to announce that Buck Hill Reservation will be open to units in July in August for the first time in many years. We are also pleased to announce that we have added five great new campsites along the shore of the pond. In the future we also hope to renovate the old commissary building to accommodate co-ed groups for overnight camping.
Right now you can reserve cabins and tent sites at our eight great camps through August 31, 2008.
We will open reservations for September 2008 through August 2009 according to the following schedule:
April 28, 2008 - Narragansett Council Commissioner Award Units
May 12, 2008 - All Narragansett Council Units
May 26, 2008 - All Out-of-Council Units
You may check availability and reserve facilities online - click here
