Cub Scout Camping

Organized camping is a creative, educational experience in cooperative group living in the outdoors. It uses the natural surroundings to contribute significantly to physical, mental, spiritual, and social growth.

• Camping contributes to good health.
• Camping helps campers develop self-reliance and resourcefulness.
• Camping enhances spiritual growth.
• Camping contributes to social development.
• Camping is an experience in citizenship training.
• Camping at the Cub Scout level introduces boys to the knowledge and skills that they will learn and apply more thoroughly as a Boy Scout.

Cub Scouting offers camping opportunities for Cub Scouts through day camps, resident camps, Webelos den overnight campouts, council-organized family camps, and pack overnighters.

Here is an example of a sample check list we would use for our camp outs. You can also check out the Beginners Guide to Camping as well.

Pack 316 plans a variety of support and encouragement for the Cub Scouts camping experiences. Our pack has organized family, den and pack wide campouts throughout the year. Contact us for more information at Pack316@earthlink.net.
