What time should I arrive?

FDR State Park is about 35-minute drive from Yonkers. Your arrival time will VARY depending on your plans for the day. Games are open from 11am to 4pm.

Games ONLY| Plan to leave Yonkers around 10am. The Opening Ceremony is at 10:45am. The Thunderbird Games are open from 11am to 4pm. You can arrive late, but the earlier you arrive the more time the boys have to participate in the Games.
Games and Camping| You can go to Durland first to set up your tent in the morning, and then go to the Games at FDR. OR, go plan to pitch your tent AFTER you leave the Games.

Is there more information?

Yes! Visit the Thunderbird webpage.

Should I bring my own lunch? Do they sell food?

We suggest you pack your own lunch and snacks/drink for Saturday. Food is sold at the Games, but the lines can be long and really cut into time for games.

Where is Pack 6 meeting at Thunderbird Games?

During the Games, there is no specific time/place for the entire Pack to meet.

We encourage dens to designate a meeting point. If everyone from a den are arriving at the same time, we recommend meeting at the main registration/check-in desk. Or, dens are encouraged to text/call each other to meet up in the mail field where the Games are being held.

After the Games, all Pack 6 scouts and families staying for dinner and campfire should drive to Durland Scout Reservation. To sign up for dinner, email pack6crestwood@gmail.com with your family's headcount. We will collect money for dinner and s'mores.
