Deep Run Day Camp for Cub Scouts

June 9th–13th

Cub Scout Day Camp is often called “the camp that comes to the Scout.” Day Camp is an organized program for Cub Scouts and Webelos Scouts under certified leadership, at Deep Run Park in Richmond. Cub Scout Day Camp is a unique program; it is usually the first major activity for Scouts after graduating from their previous rank. At Day Camp, Scouts begin to work toward their next rank in the Cub Scout program, and we use the same ranks to identify age groups as your “home pack.” We welcome non-Scout buddies to join in on the fun, as well!

Scouts BSA Test Lab

Have you visited the Scouts BSA Test Lab? This is a unique opportunity for Scouts to test drive potential merit badges, and provide their feedback, in the hopes of adding new badges to the program. Right now, you can complete the proposed requirements for Auctioneering, Wildland Fire Management, and Life Skills, but the Test Lab will regularly feature new and exciting proposed badges. Scouts completing these test badges will earn a certificate (which does not count toward advancement), but if it becomes official, they will be credited with having earned it. Let us know if you give it a try, and what you like about each proposed badge.
