Summer Campout

We’re going camping!

Below you’ll find the agenda, supply list, health form information, and registration for our June Campout. The aim of this overnight camping trip is to learn the basics of working together to set camp, prepare meals together, learn new skills, and explore nature while having fun.

Camping is the center of scouting. It provides Cubs with real adventure by getting outdoors and taking on new challenges.

For those attending Camp Carpenter, this overnight trip can be a real confidence booster to get through those 4 nights of summer camp.

For those not attending Camp Carpenter, a Pack overnight is a chance to experience camping as a group and earn your “Let’s Camp” adventure.

An overnight campout is a requirement for Arrow of Light Scouts to crossover to the Troop.
