Our council also has Council sponcered summer camps. These camps are three
nights for the younger boys and five for the Webelos.  These camps are the
exception to the parent & Cub type campouts.

An other reason, for having the parents along, is it teaches the parents that
they can go camping and survive.  This makes them more likley to help out with
the troop when their son moves on.  Both of our Pack's first year Webelos dens
went to Webelos Woods this fall.  Two of the parents were supprised to find out
that camping isn't fatal.  (Only one boy wouldn't have stay at night if his
mother hadn't been their.)
