Want a discount on June’s Day Camp? VOLUNTEER!
Registration has begun for 2008 Day Camp to be held June 9-13 at Bear Creek Park. Please turn them in with your $70 early-bird registration fee to your den leaders as SOON AS POSSIBLE. The deadline to turn in your registration forms to Jim Christian, Day Camp Coordinator, is May 10 by noon.
But you think $70 is a tad much for a week of enriching activities that will help your scout with his next rank? You want a discount? OK… we’ll give you a discount — IF YOU VOLUNTEER! For every day you volunteer at Day Camp, we will provice a $15 discount on your son’s registration! If you will volunteer for the entire week (all 5 days), your son can attend day camp for FREE! That’s right, you heard me – FREE!
Registration forms are located here. Day Camp Registration and Health Form
Boys and volunteers will fill out the same form. Each person must fill out a SEPARATE form.
Please note that ALL adults need to have taken the Youth Protection Training. Here are some directions for taking the training.
HOW TO get a YPT Card – read this before you take the course.

- In the box for “Council Number” select: “Longhorn Council – Hurst, TX – 662″

- If you have problems printing the card please email Patricia at pphillips@longhorn.org. Include the date when you took the test and your name. (Include your BSA Person ID number if you have one.)
- If you experience other problems before you finish the course and test – such as computer lock-ups, network freezes, etc. – try the system again. BSA regularly updates the software and glitches are fixed as fast as they are found. At times of peak use your may have to try multiple times! Remember – there are millions of BSA volunteers around the USA!
