FUN AT EVERY TURN is the norm in Cub Scouts, and that includes Family Campouts. Expect to be outdoors and enjoy it. Expect to get dirty, smelly and sweaty while learning a new skill, having fun and enjoying games with friends.  Fun with friends is exciting & a great part of scouting. Can't wait to enjoy the weekend outdoors with you, to gladly #Unplug and reconnect with nature.
