We'll have to leave early because we're already signed up to work children's church on the 30th, but that's the only conflict. As for daycamp, I don't feel like it's showing a lack of scout spirit to say we are pulling out as a pack. There are packs in deltona that have also pulled out because of the way things are being handled. District canceled our daycamp without any form of communication between themselves and those who were already signed up to help lead the camp. To me, that shows a lack of caring and courtesy on their part. Deland was a central location for Tuscarora (West Volusia) District. Deltona is not. Just my thoughts.

Unfortunately, I can't offer to carry more than one extra Cub Scout with me because my car is full with all of my children. I think the weekend outings are fun, but it doesn't seem to me that they quite replace the day camp experience. That said, my problem with Day Camp is just that it is too hot! I think it is too much for many of the younger children and some of the adults to be outside all day in the heat. Is it showing a lack of Scout Spirit to pull out of Day Camp as a pack? I want to be supportive of District events, but I am not going to volunteer this year because Katie is too little.

I suppose that's the plan, then. I'm a little disappointed with the lack of online commentary, but no one said we needed a quorum to vote, right? :) So let's announce it as the will of the people tonight.
