Outdoor Adventures

Organized camping is a creative, educational experience in cooperative group living in the outdoors. It uses the natural surroundings to contribute significantly to physical, mental, spiritual, and social growth.

Cub Scout Campouts

When asking a child why they want to join cub scouts, chances are, one of their reasons is camping! With Pack 490, camping is a family affair. We encourage the entire family to get outdoors and have some fun! Typically, we do three campouts a year – Summer Campout, Fall Campout, and Spring Campout. These campouts generally consist of one or two nights which are filled with amazing experiences for our scouts. From crafts and hiking to campfire fun, we make sure our campouts are just what the children need to appreciate the outdoors.

 

Pack Overnighters
Packs on their own can hold overnight campouts for the families in the pack. Cub Scouts’ brothers and sisters can go on these pack overnighters. In most cases, each Scout will camp with a parent or guardian. Every young camper is responsible to a specific adult.

Day Camps
Day camp lasts for one day to five days. It’s for Tigers, Wolves, Bears, and Webelos Scouts. Day camps are held during the day or early evening. Campers do not stay overnight.

Resident Camps
At resident camps, Cub Scouts camp overnight. Every year, the resident camp has a different theme and different adventures. Examples of themes are Sea Adventure, Space Adventure, Athletes, Knights, Circus Big Top, American Indian Heritage, Folklore, and the World Around Us.

Webelos Den Overnight Campouts
Webelos dens go on overnight campouts. Each Webelos Scout camps with his parent or guardian. The campers learn the basics of Boy Scout camping, under the direction of the Webelos den leader. Sometimes, leaders from a Boy Scout troop may join you.

Webelos dens also have joint overnight campouts with a Boy Scout troop. Each Webelos Scout has a parent or guardian with him on these joint campouts, too.
