Cub Scout Camping offers both overnight and day/twilight programs to give your Cub Scout an unforgettable summer of adventure. Scouts will enjoy outdoor adventures like swimming, hiking, camping, and archery, not to mention making lifelong friends and memories.
At Scouts BSA Camp, youth will overcome challenges they first thought were beyond their ability and find programs that stir the imagination. Using the outdoors as our classroom, Scouts will build character and skills that can be used in their everyday lives. Don't forget about our second-week and family discounts!

Every few years, the BSA updates its Annual Health and Medical Record after consulting with health care professionals, Scout executives, council and camp health officers and other experts to ensure it is up-to-date and helpful. This was one of those years, meaning a new form is available for everyone to use for 2020.
