Wolf elective 23A and 23F

[Tamalpias]

Does anyone have an official interpretation of the difference between these two electives? I had a parent ask me to explain the difference between these two electives, and I was at a loss. Does anyone have any ideas?

Elective 23A could be fulfilled by a Wolf Cub participating in a Pack Family Campout OR by the pack's participation in a Council overnight camp. This could be a Council Organized Family Camp, or a Resident Camp.

 

Elective 23F could ONLY be completed by participating in a council-run Resident Camping program, operated under the National Standards for Cub Scout/Boy Scout Resident Camps, #19-108.

 

See: Cub Scout Outdoor Program Guidelines for 2007, for more descriptions of Cub Scout Outdoor Program Opportunities.

Elective 23A is for ANY overnighter WITH your Pack.

 

Elective 23F is for a Council run overnighter & does not have to be with the Pack. Although it specifies "Resident Camp", I would allow credit for Council run weekend camps too. These are the one night, parent/scout variety. Most of our Pack's scouts attend our councils summer weekend camps instead of the longer, more expensive, further away ones.

 

Elective 23E is to attend Day Camp.

 

The purpose is to get the boys outdoors, in different camping environments, and to experience both Council run & Pack run camps.
