Summer Camps
Cub Scout summer camps are exciting opportunities for Scouts to dive into hands-on adventures, make new friends, and explore the outdoors in a safe, structured environment. Resident camps are designed to build confidence, teamwork, and a love for the outdoors—all while creating memories that last a lifetime. Camp is also the only opportunity for Scouts to earn special badges like archery, bb guns, and slingshots as well as get exposure to boat handling and other advanced outdoor skills. Pack 1853 arranges camp registration as a Pack and uses a mix of den leader and parent volunteers for camp chaperones.
