One common thread running through scouting programs is camping. Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts camp. We use camping to teach the boys outdoor survival skills. We also use camping as a means to bring the entire family into the scouting program. Pack 1831's camping is usually done as a family. We invite all family members, where appropriate, to attend our camps, including sisters, brothers, parents and grandparents.

We use organized activities to teach the boys, and a limited amount of free "exploring" time to help boys learn on their own.
Pack 1831 camping also helps introduce the boys to the skills they will need while camping as Boy Scouts.
 
Finally, camping is a great way for Cub Scouts to meet new friends and make memories with their current friends. We encourage boys to sign up to attend at least one Council camporee each year. Many in our pack also choose to attend one of the Camp Snyder summer programs as well.

Pack 1831 plans to provide camping opportunities throughout the year for our Pack as well as notifying our members of opportunities to camp with our local Boy Scout troops. If you have any suggestions for educational and fun overnights, please let us know.
 
Camping Forms and Information
Whenever you are camping, as a Pack or with the Council, you will need to fill out the required health form for each person who will be attending the event, including siblings, parents and grandparents. These forms are available from your committee chair.
