UPDATE 5/11/20: Due to safety and planning concerns, Prairielands Council is cancelling all summer programs at Camp Drake this Summer of 2020. The following is from their e-blast.
The Prairielands Council Board and Staff continually puts the health and well-being of our Scouts and Leaders first. Based on the aforementioned statement, CDC Guidelines, the State of Illinois Recovery Plan, and other regulations and requirements related to COVID-19, it is just not feasible for us to hold our traditional summer camping programs this year. Therefore, we are making the difficult decision to cancel our traditional Summer programs at Camp Robert Drake for 2020.
====================================================================
If you were at the Blue & Gold Banquet today, then you enjoyed the magician, our scouts getting their awards and recognition, the food, the cake, and all things celebrating scouting in Pack 9. What you maybe didn't enjoy was me shouting about Summer Camp. Sorry, but the excitement for the weather warming up and getting our scouts to the outdoors is hard to contain.
Registration is now open and all the details are on the Summer Camp 2020 page here at HCPack9.org.

What to Wear?
Dress to work outside. No open-toed shoes. Scouts should wear either the purple Pack 9 t-shirt or the orange Boneyard shirt from a previous year if you have one. Otherwise, event staff typically have more orange Boneyard shirts on-site for volunteers.
