- Three action-packed camping options, all with their own theme and more to do than you ever imagined.
- A special “Summer Sign-up Incentive” where you can save significant money on your leader’s fees in 2009 by reserving your unit’s attendance by August 31, 2008—however, we’re extending this deadline until September 2. All you have to do is turn in your Summer Commitment Form with a $100 deposit at camp (before August 23) or here at the Scout Service Center (anytime). When you do this by September 2, 2008 two adult leaders will attend in 2009 for free.
- Only you as a Summer Camp Unit Coordinator or Unit Leader can make the reservation. So be sure to talk with your units as soon as possible about your reservation for 2009!
- The enclosed “Summer Camp Commitment Form” needs to be submitted to the office by fax or mail. Time is running out to save on this summer time offer…remember, only when the $100.00 is submitted with the form can the reservation be made.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach me by email: pamurphy@bsamail.org or you can call the Scout Service Center.
And remember…Rota-Kiwan Scout Reservation is where adventure lives.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR 2008
NATIVE SEED COLLECTING!
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources, Parks and Recreation Division, Stewardship Unit is once again in need of volunteers to harvest native prairie seed at several state parks and recreation areas in Lower Michigan. Prairie grass seed from plants such as big bluestem, little bluestem and Indian grass, as well as from a number of wildflowers will be collected for later planting by the State Park Stewardship Unit. These seeds are used to restore native tallgrass prairie, lakeplain prairie, and oak savanna ecosystems.
Prior to European settlement, southern Michigan supported vast expanses of prairie and oak savanna. Today prairies and savannas persist only in tiny remnant patches, many in state parks. Seed collection is a key step in restoring these lost landscapes, but it is one that requires many hands. This is a unique opportunity to learn about these rare landscapes while doing something positive to help restore and preserve them for future generations. Its fun, easy, and a wonderful experience for the entire family and people of all ages!
WORKDAY DETAILS:
All Saturday workdays are from 10 AM to 1 PM
All Sunday workdays are from 1 PM to 4 PM
We ask that volunteers bring a clean, empty gallon milk jug to collect seed and wear sturdy shoes. Hiking distance will vary. Prairie remnants are often very sunny places so a hat, sunscreen and drinking water are also recommended. If you are allergic to bees, please bring your sting relief kit. An adult must accompany children between the ages of 5 to 15 and a parent or guardian must sign a liability waiver for anyone under 18. If you belong to a group or organization that cannot attend weekend workdays, special arrangements may be made for weekdays.
Please register by mailing or faxing in a registration form. Forms are available on our web site: http://www.michigan.gov/dnrvolunteers.
