"Parkers Creek" Group Campground at Jordan Lake.
If you have checked the Pack 334 Comprehensive Calendar, you know that this month in scouting is "Cub Scout Round-up". We invite cubs to participate by attending the pack meeting and camp-out in their "cowboy style" scout uniform. Parents can participate by dressing in their favorite cowboy attire! The Trail Boss will award a prize at the camp-out on Saturday to the scout in each den that best incorporates the "Round-up" theme into his uniform.
plan the camp-out by e-mailing your attendance plans
(number of family members & whether you will be attending Friday, Saturday, or both).

Pack 334 is reserved in Site #255:
The Parkers Creek campground has nearby bathrooms with showers. The "foot-trail" into the campsites is relatively short. For new members, you may want to bring a wagon, wheel barrow, hand truck, or other small wheeled device to ferry your gear to the site. See our gear check list pages for what to bring:
We will be camping in site # 255
Quiet hours are from 10:00 P.M. to 7:00 A.M..
Scavenging wood is prohibited and although it is stated that "Firewood is available at the ticket booth or from rangers on duty", it must be purchased. It is recommended that everyone bring a "stick or two".
Friday or Saturday arrival must be prior to 9:00 P.M. and Saturday arrival must be after 8:00 A.M. Check out time is 3:00 P.M. Sunday (plenty of time for fishing).
Saturday Schedule:
Sunset 7:20 p.m.
The
tentative schedule for Saturday will follow, with one exception, our general Pack
format of Breakfast, free time, Lunch (12:00-1:00), Den Time
(1:00-200), Pack Hike (2:00), fishing or free time, dinner (5:00-630),
fishing, free time or extended dinner (6:30-7:30), Pack fire and
entertainment (7:30-8:30), quiet time.
Food:
Standard procedure for Pack 334, unless specifically planned otherwise, is for everyone to provide food and cook their own meals. As a Pack, we make a group stew on Sat. night (Please bring a can or two for the stew; nothing spicy for the sake of young stomachs). The stew ensures that everyone gets an opportunity to have a hot and nutritious dinner, regardless of their camp cooking skills. This leaves the cooking field wide open for creativity. An individual den can plan a meal around their group, with different cub/Akela pairs having different responsibilities. A particular individual or den can volunteer to cook something for the entire pack (breads, cakes, deserts, even a main course). Of course an individual is always free to cook up a steak, hot dog, burger, etc., or just avail themselves of the stew.
TICK ALERT:
Bring and use insect repellent.
Plan clothing to minimize exposure.
FISHING:
- Persons under age 16 are exempt from the requirement of a basic fishing license.
- A resident may fish with natural bait in his county of residence without a basic fishing license (this area is NOT in Wake County). "Natural bait" is any bait which may be beneficially digested by fish. An individual must carry a form of identification that indicates the name and current address. This exemption does not apply to the special trout license.
- Licenses may be procured online at: http://www.wildlife.state.nc.us/fs_index_01_license.htm
