PENFIELD – This fall Parker Dam State Park will again be offering programs for Webelo, and now Arrow of Light, Cub Scouts interested in completing the requirements for the elective activities “Into the Wilds” and “Into the Woods.”
Requirements for each of the awards will be covered during each of the individual programs, but, parents or den leaders will be the ones to sign off on the completion of individual scouts’ requirements.
“Into the Wilds” programs will be offered on Sept. 26, at 9 a.m. and on Oct. 10, at 9 a.m. Scouts need only attend one of the sessions to cover the requirements of the Into the Wilds award.
“Into the Woods” programs will be offered on Sept. 26, at 1 p.m. and on Oct. 10, at 1 p.m. Scouts need only attend one of the sessions to cover the requirements of the Into the Woods award.
Participants of each individual program will meet at the Environmental Education Classroom, located next to the Park Office, on the date and time listed and should be prepared for each program to last approximately two hours.
Participants should also be prepared for several outdoor activities, rain or shine. Parents and den leaders are welcome to stay during the programs, but are not required to do so.
Participants must pre-register for any of the “Into the Wilds” or “Into the Woods” programs at www.visitPAparks.com by clicking on “Events Calendar” and finding Parker Dam State Park under “Find a park or forest.”
Select the scout program and date of your choice, click the “Register” button and provide the requested information. Please note that registered participants will be required, and directed how, to pay a $3 registration fee following the online registration.
Registration is not complete until the fee is paid, and uncompleted/unpaid registration spaces will be forfeited to scouts on the waiting list five days prior to the scheduled program. This procedure is to eliminate fully registered programs in which registered scouts do not show up, leaving other scouts on the waiting list with no opportunity to attend.
Registration fees are also not refundable within seven days of the registered program. You may register single scouts or entire Webelos dens, but please do not register scouts that you do not know for sure are planning to participate because space is very limited.
Registrations will be accepted from now until five days prior to each program (unless not filled). If you have any questions, or if you have difficulty registering online, please contact the Park Office at 814-765-0630 or parkerdamsp@pa.gov.
