Pre-Camp Swim Checks for CFL are Scheduled! Attention all Scoutmasters. The TFC Aquatics Committee has arranged for pre-camp swim checks.
June 29, 2010 from 7:50 pm at:
Jefferson Pool, 341 N. Harvard, Villa Park, IL. (Cost is $2.00 per Scout.)
Having your swim checks completed before you come to camp will streamline the check in process and free up you and your Scouts to set up camp and begin the activities faster. Please call Pete Dillenberg at 630-584-9250 to reserve your Troop/Pack times for your swim checks.
Sincerely, Ron Sebonia

 Going to CFL this summer? As an additional service for units attend Camp Freeland Leslie Resident camp during the summer of 2010, we will be offering the opportunity to pre-order in quantities of 10 or more shirts. By placing a bulk order (10+) you can save $1.00 per shirt over the at camp Trading post price. This will not only save your unit money but will ensure that the correct sizes are available. Orders can be picked up at camp the week your unit attends camp. Also the shirts will be available at the Norris Scout Shop starting in April at a slightly higher cost.

  Camp Freeland Leslie is the premier patrol-method camp in the Central Region. We believe that the patrol is the heart of Scouting, and that teaching Scouts to work as a team is our most important job. The staff is hard at work preparing for your visit next summer, and we look forward to serving you. Please visit this site often as we will be adding new information as it gets closer to camp, & be sure to check the important announcements and dates as they appear.

About Camp Freeland Leslie |

|
Camp Freeland Leslie (CFL) is located near Oxford, Wisconsin, approximately 25 miles northeast of the Wisconsin Dells. The camp offers a variety of natural settings: pine forests, prairies, swamp, abundant wildlife and a beautiful lake entirely on the property. Lake Emerick is a unique natural resource and is one of the cleanest in Wisconsin. The camp was purchased by the former DuPage Area Council in 1970. Camp Freeland Leslie was first used as a summer camp in 1972.
Camp Freeland Leslie is a premier patrol method summer camp designed to help strengthen the patrols within your unit. The 500 acre property allows for a wide variety of Scouting opportunities sure to meet the interests of the newest camper as well as the experienced older Scouts in your unit. CFL offers a full complement of merit badges, outpost opportunities, first year camper program, a COPE course, high adventure programs and much more. One of the highlights of the summer camp program is the Friday night event featuring a camp wide pig roast.

New improvements to the facilities are constantly being made to improve Camp Freeland Leslie. A beautiful new nature center and lakefront observation deck was constructed for the 2005 camping season. Construction of a new shower facility was completed in 2006 which provides private and modern shower and restroom facilities. 2007 saw the completion of a handicapped accessible campsite. In 2008, the OA constructed our awesome Eagles Nest Program Area. 2009 brought the completion of a huge dining pavilion and 54 new tables with benches. Other projects are planned for future years. If you have not been to CFL in a number of years you will be amazed at the many improvements to the facilities. |
| While the camp offers six weeks of Boy Scout Resident camp and two sessions of Webelos Resident Camp during the summer it is also available year round for unit camping. There are many beautiful campsites to choose from and the Deicke Visitors Center is available during the off season to be rented for unit outings. This modern building is complete with bunks, central heating, equipped kitchen, and indoor toilet/shower facilities. There are ski resorts in the area which makes this a popular base camp for many units during the winter. |

A full time resident Ranger resides year round at camp to help support your stay. Contact the Program Department at the Norris Service Center in St. Charles, IL (630-584-9250) to inquire about availability and to make reservations.
