Scouts Take Flight!
Cub Camp is great time for Cub Scouts, presently in grades 1-4, to have some fun shooting BB's and arrows, playing sports and
water games, making stuff, learning about the outdoors and nature , and doing a WHOLE LOT MORE. Remember, boys do not have to have been a Cub Scout prior to attending cub camp.
In fact, cub camp is a perfect way to let boys "try on" Cub Scouting! Also, new Tiger Cubs (boys who have completed
kindergarten this school year) can attend day camp with a parent/guardian.
