Cub Scout Camping...it's more fun outdoors!
When a boy and his family join Cub Scouting, they join an organization that values the fun and excitement of experiencing the outdoors. Each Cub Scout pack is encouraged to provide its youth members with enriching, positive outdoor experiences. An event might be a youth member’s first organized outdoor activity. Good planning using Cub Scouting guidelines should assure a positive experience.
A successful outdoor program that meets the goals of the Cub Scout program will ensure that all activities are appropriate for the target age group. Age-appropriate guidelines for Scouting activities are available online at scouting.org.
The group-based activity matches the training and experience of participants.
The group has the ability to successfully complete the activity.
The activity supports or is in harmony with Scouting values.
The activity adds to the life experiences, knowledge, or abilities of participants.
The unit or group receives training appropriate to the activity.
In addition, apply these Cub Scouting program-specific criteria:
• The activity is parent/youth or family-oriented.
• The activity is conducted with adult supervision.
• The Cub Scouts are asked to do their best.
• The activity is discovery-based.
