Greetings!   

Summer is the time when parents and adult volunteer leaders keep the promise that's made to each Scout when they join -- fun and adventure. Our summer camp and adventure camp staffs are prepared and ready to help your unit have an outstanding outdoor experience.
 
The council's resident summer camps open on Sunday. Hundreds of Scouts are already enjoying Cub Scout Adventure Camps.
 
Help your Scouts enjoy camp by preparing them for the experience. Below are links to equipment lists for all resident camps, links to maps to camp and maps of the council's resident camps.
 
As always, please contact us if we can assist you in providing the highest-quality Scouting program for our young people.
