Cub Scout Leader Guide: Camping Opportunities

Parent -N- Pal Weekends
Parent-n-Pal is an action-packed weekend camping experience for a Cub Scout and their parent/partner. This is a weekend of living at a real Scout camp, doing the things Cub Scouts do – shooting BB guns,  archery, hiking, crafts, games, and more! It is the perfect introductory camping program for “new” or inexperienced campers. These weekends are usually held once in the fall and once in the spring at one of our Scout camps.

District Cub Scout Camping
Cub Scout campouts are designed to give your Cub Scout or Webelos Scout and their family an opportunity to spend a fun-filled weekend together in the outdoors. They will learn more about each other by working and playing together within a planned program of activities. Check with your district to find out when these weekends are held. 

Cub Day Camp/Twilight Camp
Day camp is a fun-filled week of adventure for Cub Scouts who will be in the 1st – 5th grades. The Circle Ten Council holds the Monday through Friday summer day camps in various geographic locations. These camps offer a range of activities which may include archery, BB guns, arts and crafts, field sports, nature, Scout skills, and many other theme activities. All camps place a special emphasis on safety procedures.

Cub Scout Resident Camp
Are you ready for an adventure of a lifetime? During June and July, Cub Scouts are given the opportunity to enjoy Cub Scout Resident Camp (2nd and 3rd graders) and Webelos Resident Camp (4th and 5th graders) located at Camp James Ray. 

What kinds of activities will you get to do while at camp? Swimming, fishing, handicraft, outdoor skills, shooting sports, BMX biking, campfire programs, and sports are just a few of the age-specific activities offered throughout the camp. A Scout staff is on hand to assist with these programs.  During your free time, you will be able to hike and explore Camp James Ray.

All the meals are served in an air-conditioned dining hall. You will sleep in a provided wall tent with a platform. Restrooms are available throughout the camp.
