Cub Scout Fishing    Summer camp is one of the best parts of being a Scout. Every youth deserves the opportunity to attend camp regardless of financial situation. Camperships are available to Scouts needing financial assistance to attend a Greater St. Louis Area Council camp.

   Don't let your son, or another boy in your unit, get left behind this summer for this reason. Submit a campership application by April 1.
