Cub Family Weekend is an overnight camping experience designed to give both new and existing Cub Scouts an exciting adventure at the start of the new school year! While at the event, children will get a taste of what Cub Scouting offers through camping, shooting sports, games, crafts, campfires and spending quality time with their family!
For those kids looking for the ultimate Cub Scout summer camp experience, this is it! This resident style camp is a three-day and two-night program with fun around every turn. Camping at the Cub Scout level introduces boys and girls to the outdoors and helps them develop outdoor skills at an age-appropriate level that will be applied more thoroughly as a Scout in Scouts, BSA. As Cub Scouts progress, the opportunities for outdoor adventures become more challenging.
Partnered with a parent or guardian, Cub Scouts build a custom race car to compete in their pack’s own Pinewood Derby! They begin with an official Pinewood Derby Race Car kit and come up with strategies and create a design for their car. Next, they carve it from the wood block provided and detail it with paint, decals and other accessories.
It’s s a wonderful learning experience centered on teamwork, ingenuity and sportsmanship – all for the thrill of the race and a lifetime of great memories to share with fellow racers young and old.
In addition to Pack Pinewood Derbies, Dan Beard Council invites our Cub Scouts to participate in a council-wide Pinewood Derby that takes place each spring.
Cub Scout Day Camp offers fun and exciting programs at two locations in Dan Beard Council this summer. It is the perfect place to experience outdoor adventures of the Cub Scout program. Explore nature, play games, make crafts and learn new skills and overcome challenges! These 5-day camps include activities such as archery, BB guns, hiking, STEM, and more, and are scheduled so all attendees have the opportunity to participate in each activity.
