Adventure for All

For Pack 303 in Canal Fulton the annual Family Adventure Camp is a time to join with new and returning families for fun in the outdoor classroom. Last year more than 50 individuals from their Pack attended and participated in Archery, BB Guns, fishing, slingshots, and a campfire program. "Family Adventure Camp is awesome because it immediately delivers the promise of why kids join," says Cubmaster Steve Walker. "I most enjoyed the chance to get to know families while walking down the trail and sitting around the campfire. It's a great experience that the whole family can attend including siblings who aren't in Scouts yet."

Family Adventure Camps are happening across the council in the next several weeks. Reserve your spot today!

Scout Executive Minute

As my daughter headed back to school recently, my whole family has been excited by the opportunities and adventures that come with Fall. And the best adventures always involve the whole family. I hope you'll take advantage of Family Adventure Camp like Pack 1303 and share the fun of scouting with your family as well as kids and leaders from across the area.

In addition to Family Adventure Camp, you can also come out to Pumpkin Glow or for Scouts BSA units our Fall Camporees and Merit Badge events. Whether you are brand new to Scouting, or have been participating for years, the Fall has many adventures to offer for your entire family.
