Cub Scout Day Camp is a great option for Cub Scouts to experience a full week of camp type programming and activities close to home. Different camps throughout the summer provide a variety of activities and no two camp weeks is alike. Scouts can attend any camp they choose and are welcome to attend more than one camp. Newly added to the list of Day Camps includes one day options! 

The average youth spends as much as 7 hours a day in front of electronic screens, it’s more important than ever to encourage time outdoors! Outdoor play and nature-based education increases fitness levels, reduces stress and anxiety, and increases critical thinking skills.

Registration cost includes all crafts and activities, a Day Camp shirt to wear for the week, and a patch!

This group was created to enable Den Leaders to get ideas, and be inspired to run a success full den. This is a local group, made up of Minsi Trails Council Den Leaders.  If you want to join, please answer the two questions we ask. Failure to answer them could lead to your request waiting for weeks until an admin has the time to look at your profile and try to figure out why you want to join, and may result in your request being denied. Leaders, feel free to ask any questions regarding any upcoming changes to the program materials or any current requirement, belt loop, pin, etc. questions or just get ideas from other Den Leaders. This group is a resource to all leaders. The admins reserve the right to deem any discussion inappropriate and therefore delete the post. If you are not comfortable with this type of censorship, please remove yourself from the group. This Group is privately run by Leaders to help other leaders.
