Summer is coming! What better place to be during the summer than Cub Scout Day Camp?
This year’s Cub Scout Day camp celebrates the United States Semiquincentennial, or the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. That’s a mouthful, so simply put, we invite you and your Cub Scout to celebrate our nation’s 250th birthday at a camp near you!
Cub Scouts will be historians for the week, analyzing, synthesizing, and interpreting information on the ideas, people, and places that have influenced each of those 250 years. In addition to the traditional camp activities of swimming, fishing, and shooting sports, camp will feature games, activities, and crafts that focus on the country’s founding, exploration, heroes, and more!
Most of all, they will have LOTS OF FUN!
Cub Scouts from Tiger to Arrow of Light may attend Day Camp. Choose the Day Camp nearest you or attend all of them!

Our primary goals for the Day Camp experience are:
- To make sure Scouts have fun! This is our most important objective!
- To promote Scouting and the Scout spirit in all our activities.
- To provide a theme that will serve as a binding thread for our program.
- To support rank advancement of our participating Scouts.
- To provide a safe, educational, and entertaining environment for Scouts and their parents
Cub Scout Day Camp Staff are all volunteers! Interested in helping? Contact your District Executive or Day Camp Director.
EACH PACK IS REQUIRED TO PROVIDE LEADERSHIP TO CAMP! Please work with your other adults to ensure your pack is sending:
- Tiger Cubs (entering 1st grade in Sept) - each must attend with an adult parent or guardian
- 1 to 4 youth – requires at least 1 adult
- 5 to 10 youth – requires at least 2 adults
- Over 10 youth – requires 2 adults plus 1 additional adult for every 5 boys
Adults attending with the Tiger Cubs do NOT count towards your required leadership as they will be solely helping with their Tiger. Adults volunteering do not have to be den leaders, and may be parents, relatives, neighbors, or other responsible adults. Training will be provided!
We look forward to seeing you at Camp!
