Can you feel it? Cub Scouts camping, having fun, learning new skills, and making new friends! Summer is coming, faster than we realize. Before we know it, Summer Camp will be upon us. We will be at camp, swimming, boating, shooting, climbing, playing games, hiking, fishing, and enjoying all the grand adventures that summer camp brings. The Camp Staff is being formed, the programs are being prepared and the facilities readied for your arrival. We are excited, are you?
The time is now to start making plans for all of the summer Cub Scout programs. Summer at the Lake of the Ozarks Scout Reservation will offer our Cubs, leaders, parents and families three distinct programs to enjoy: Cub Adventure Camp, Akela Camp and Webelos Camp.
Cub Scout 2023 Summer Camp Registrations will open soon! Stay tuned!
Cub Akela Camp offers a terrific three day/two-night program for Cubs of all ages. Cubs register and attend along with others from their packs or dens. Cubs will spend their days participating in a variety of structured activities including BB Guns, archery, swimming, crafts, games, rowboats, hikes, and evening activities. These activities are designed to provide advancement opportunities using Cub Adventures. There is no better way to get your Scout’s year off to a great start!
