Summer is one of the best parts of Cub Scouting. It’s where Scouts get outdoors, try new activities, and build confidence while having fun with their families and friends.
If your Scout has never been to camp before, this is the perfect year to start.
Cub Scout camping is designed to be:
Fun – hands-on activities and outdoor adventure
Simple – no complicated planning for families
Flexible – multiple options to fit your schedule
The Cub Scout program is built around outdoor experiences that support character, citizenship, fitness, and leadership developmentÂ
Camp James Ray is where Cub Scouts get to experience the best parts of Scouting all in one place. From the moment they arrive, Scouts are outdoors, active, and fully engaged in hands-on fun.
They’ll spend time cooling off in the camp’s great swimming pool, take part in age-appropriate outdoor activities, and try things they don’t get to do at a typical den meeting. Every part of camp is designed to keep Scouts moving, exploring, and having fun.
By the evening, Scouts gather with their Pack around a campfire, sharing stories and wrapping up a full day outdoors. It’s the kind of experience where they build confidence, strengthen friendships, and come home already asking when they can go back.
