Cub Scouts

Cub Scouting offers overnight camping opportunities for Cub Scouts through long-term camps, Webelos den overnight campouts, council-organized short-term or family camps, and pack overnighters. The National BSA requires Cub Scout camping plans to meet specific safety and leadership training guidelines. It also requires approval from the Scout Executive whenever more than one chartered unit plans to camp together. If you have any questions about this policy please contact the Five Rivers Council office.
