CUB SCOUT CAMPING (Ages 6-10)

Unit Registration Is Open! Register now to lock in 2024 pricing for your entire Pack!

Unit Registration reserves your preferred DATES/SESSION.
It does not reserve your preferred housing accommodations.

There is a $100 nonrefundable deposit for all unit registrations. This payment can later be applied toward camper fees.

Camping at the Cub Scout level introduces boys and girls to the outdoors and helps them develop outdoor skills at an age-appropriate level that will be applied more thoroughly as a Scout in Scouts, BSA. As Cub Scouts progress, the opportunities for outdoor adventures become more challenging. The upcoming Dan Beard Council summer camp opportunities can be found below!

ALL THE FUN OF SUMMER CAMP PACKED INTO 3 DAYS OF ADVENTURE!

For those kids looking for the ultimate Cub Scout summer camp experience, this is it! This resident style camp is a three-day and two-night program with fun around every turn. Scouts will have a chance to realize their full potential while taking part in one-of-a kind activities. Experience all that Cub World has to offer. There are unique activities for all ages and camping ability. All Scouts and leaders will enjoy the accommodations at the Fort, the Castle, the Mountain Man Village, or the Miners Camp. Together with their Pack, den, and others their age, your youth will use the power of imagination to be swept away to another time and place. Activities include:

Swimming
Shooting Sports
Archery
Nature Hikes
Handicraft Adventures
Outdoor Skills Demonstrations
Fishing
Campfire program
Cub Scout advancements that fit your rank

The structure of the Adventure Camp schedule is made to highlight the joys of experiencing camp with the Pack! The Unit-based rotation system will allow your Scouts to do all the things they love about a traditional Cub World session while keeping your Pack together for activities, rather than be split by rank. This provides even more fun and bonding time for your Pack during your session. See you at Cub World in 2023!

Some special activities planned, including:

An enhanced outpost
Archery/BB
Nature Hikes
Fishing
Blobbing in the lake
A special closing campfire program
And so much more!
