The Gold Rush is an annual outdoor event for ALL Cub Scouts and parents to enjoy together. It will be held at Camp John J. Barnhardt on the 1,000 acre William C. Cannon Scout Reservation in New London, NC.

 

Cubs find gold nuggets as admission for the games. If a Cub has more than five gold nuggets at any one time, he could be apprehended by the Gold Rush Sheriff or one of his deputies. Appropriate fines are the payment of three gold nuggets or by singing a song.

• One (1) Action Game for Every Den or 6 boys attending (there is no electricity or water source in the game field).
• Enough Candy to give to game participants throughout the day (for Recognition at Games)
• One (1) Bucket of Gold-Painted Gravel (Gold Nuggets) for Every Den or 6 Boys (Gold will be placed in activity field as you arrive to set up your game)

We want this first Cub Scout event of the year to be memorable and the very best it can be!!  Packs are invited to camp for the weekend (arrival no earlier than 3:00 pm Friday).  All food and equipment resources are the responsibility of the packs that choose to camp. There will be an exciting campfire at 7:30 pm on Saturday (packs may audition to present a skit at the Pavilion between 10am - 4pm Saturday) and a worship service Sunday morning from 8:15 – 8:45am.  We look forward to a great time and appreciate your helpfulness!

No pets will be allowed in camp.  Any special accommodations needed for Handicap Accessibility must be approved by the Camp Ranger by October 11th.  For your safety, closed-toe shoes only!
