Camping

Camping takes you on exciting adventures into the natural world. You'll learn
to live with others in the out-of-doors. You'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 you
learn to rely on yourself—on your own skills and knowledge. When you go camping
as a Cub Scout, you get skills you will learn and use more, later, as a Boy
Scout.
Cub Scout camping has day camps, resident camps, Webelos den overnight
campouts, family camps, and pack overnighters.
