Organized camping is a creative, educational experience in cooperative group living in the outdoors. It uses the natural surroundings to contribute significantly to physical, mental, spiritual, and social growth.

• Camping contributes to good health.
• Camping helps campers develop self-reliance and resourcefulness.
• Camping enhances spiritual growth.
• Camping contributes to social development.
• Camping is an experience in citizenship training.
• Camping at the Cub Scout level introduces boys to the knowledge and skills that they will learn and apply more thoroughly as a Boy Scout.

Cub Scouting offers camping opportunities for Cub Scouts through day camps, resident camps, Webelos den overnight campouts, council-organized family camps, and pack overnighters.

Day Camps

Day camp is an organized one- to five-day program for Tiger Cubs, Cub Scouts, and Webelos Scouts conducted by the council under certified leadership at an approved site. Day camps are conducted during daylight or early evening hours. Day camps do not include any overnight activities.

Check with your council and district leaders for day camp opportunities available in your area.

Resident Camps

Cub Scout and Webelos Scout resident camping is a council-organized, theme-oriented overnight camping program. It operates for at least two nights and is conducted under certified leadership at a camp approved by the council.

Each year, councils change their overall theme to offer different adventures. Examples of themes include Sea Adventure, Space Adventure, Athletes, Knights, Circus Big Top, American Indian Heritage, Folklore, and the World Around Us.

Check with your council and district leaders for resident camp opportunities available in your area.

Tiger Day Camp
Tiger Day camp is a single day outing for current and new Tiger Cubs and their Adult partners.  It is usually filled with fun and adventure with multitudes of games and activities.  This will probably be their first taste of Scouting and is designed to leave them wanting more.  Instilled with the Spirit of Scouting, this Tiger will eventually become and Eagle.

Cub & Me
This is an overnight camping experience for all Tigers, Wolves, Bears, and Webelos and their parent(s) and usually runs from Friday night until noon on Sunday.  Arrival on Saturday morning is permissible, but you want to arrive early before the events begin.

Scouts will enjoy Crafts, Nature, Swimming, BB, Archery, and games galore.  There is also an awesome campfire planned for Saturday night.  (Scout and Adult health forms are required since overnight camping is involved)

As always, please contact the Scout Service Center for more information and the date of the next event.
