Camping takes your scout on exciting adventures into the natural world. They’ll learn to live with others in the out-of-doors. They’ll learn to be a good citizen of the outdoors.
Camping is fun, and it’s good for your mind, body, and spirit. It helps your scouts learn to rely on themselves—on their own skills and knowledge. When a Cub Scout goes camping, they get skills they will learn and use
, later, as a Boy Scout.
