Cub Resident Camp
For Tigers, Wolves, Bears and 1st Year Webelos (next year's rank):
A weekend program which offers the opportunity for Cub Scouts and their
accompanying adult to spend quality time together working on advancements,
enjoying recreational activities and learning the fundamentals of camping in
the outdoors. Programs are similar at both camps. You'll camp with your
Pack then participate in age appropriate activities by rank, which may include
BB guns, archery, nature, crafts, outdoor skills, swimming, boating, games,
pony rides and much more during the session. Food service is provided for
these programs at all camps. A 1:1 Youth/Adult ratio is strongly recommended,
and 2:1 is required and a 1:1 ratio is required for all Cub Scout Tigers
(current Tigers in Dens 1, 10 and 11 will attend camp as Wolves this
summer).
What are the differences in the two camps?
Each offers similar programs for Cub Scouts entering 1st through 4th grade next
year.
- Camp Akela is located on the Phillippo Scout Reservation near
Cannon Falls, about 75 minutes away. Campers sleep in two person canvas,
platform tents with cots, eat in a dining hall, and swim in a heated pool.
-Camp Heritage is located at the Sterns Scout Camp near
Annandale, about 45 minutes from Wayzata. Campers sleep in regular two
person tents, will have prepared meals brought to their site and use a
lakefront for swimming.
Neither date works for my family. Can my son still go to camp?
-Yes. Sign up on your own or with a den mate at any of the Cub
Resident Camps with open spots. See www.goscouting.org for availabilities.
My son wants to go but his parents can't. Can he still sign up?
-Yes. While a 1:1 ratio is highly recommended, a 2:1 is permitted if your
son is comfortable being away from you and is mature enough to handle himself
responsibly. You should make arrangements with your den leader or another
adult who is going and who would be willing to supervise your son as well
as his/her own.
How do I sign up? Sign up online below, or with a
check at a Pack meeting or Pinewood Derby. Space is limited and will be
filled first come, first served.
