2024 Solar Eclipse April 8

We're welcoming our 2024 Wood Badge class back to Cub Adventure Camp for weekend 2 of their adult training! Fingers, feathers, paws, and claws are all firmly crossed that we've left the wind behind us at weekend 1 (where more than a couple tents met their match). Are you camping this weekend?

🚀 Cub Scout Summer Camp - Blast Into Adventure!

One of the most rewarding and character-building things a family can do together is go camping. Bring your Scout to a session at Cub Adventure Camp, where we offer a 4-day, 3-night experience for Cub Scouts this summer! You can attend as a family or just as a parent/Scout pair. Meals are served in our air-conditioned Dining Hall, and you can stay in our Tent Village or in a Western Frontier Fort, Yurt, or Cabin.
