Dew Dog Challenge Event will be “Cosmic” for Northwest Georgia Scouts

- Staff Reports

Calling all Cubs, Webelos, Boy Scouts, Venturers, Explorers, and their siblings ages 3 and up! Come out to Camp Sidney Dew April 13 - 15 for the biggest and best Scouting event in Northwest Georgia. The Dew Dog Challenge is the one event to bring together the entire Scouting family. That’s right; everyone, from Tiger Cubs to Venturers/ Explorers, is invited to participat­e. Our theme for this year’s Challenge is “Space Dogs.”

Similar to a large Camporee, t he Challenge consists of a series of “missions” to test the skills of Cub Scouts, Webelos, Boy Scouts, and Venturers/ Explorers alike. The spirit of the Dew Dog Challenge is one of friendly competitio­n. The Challenge is a fun way for our Scouts to show off their Scouting skills and compete for the coveted “Top Dog Patrol” trophy. There are different competitiv­e events for each level. For Cub Scout Packs that bring along siblings, those ages 6 and above can participat­e in the Cub Scout events. We also have a special program just for Cub Scout siblings ages 3 to 6. In addition to the fun, challenge activities, there will be Community Showcases, Food Vendors, a special Campfire program, and of course, barking, yes, barking- is encouraged!

Registrati­on is open now at NWGABSA. ORG, and will continue through April 1. The cost to participat­e is $ 20 per youth and $10 per adult, which includes an event patch for each youth. Event t- shirts and adult patches available for purchase; shirts must be ordered by March 10th. Take advantage now through March 10 of the Early Bird registrati­on fee of $15 per youth and $5 per adult – a savings of $ 5 per person!
