Take Flight at Cub Scout Day Camp
More than 40 camps take place throughout all 15 districts of our council with at least one camp within your geographical area. Camps are open to all levels of Cub Scouts (unless specifically noted) and boys can attend as many as they like, even in other districts.
Popular activities such as archery and sling shots return each year, while others such as games, sports, and crafts rotate and change with the annual theme to keep camp different and engaging each year. This year's theme is 'Take Flight!' Find a camp near you today!

Become a Better Leader At Wood Badge
Ever wonder what those wooden beads are around some Scouters' necks? They are Wood Badge beads! Wood Badge is Scouting's premier training course and it is where adult Scouters can learn by DOING. Members in the course are formed into patrols and troops. The entire troop lives outdoors for two weekends camping, cooking their own meals and practicing Scout skills.
The next Wood Badge course is scheduled for Aug. 14-16 and 28-30. Click here to learn more or sign up.
