Each summer brings the opportunity to attend a number of summer camps based on the scouts rank (after graduation). Our goal is to have 100% participation for the scouts.
Day/Evening Camp - All Cub Scouts (and often siblings)
The Boone's Trail district offers a number of great day and evening camps throughout the summer. Our Pack selects one or two camps to attend as a group, but you are welcome to select any of the camps. This year we have selected the following two evening camps:
June 18-22 (4 PM - 8 PM): Busch Wildlife Shooting Camp - This camp will focus on the shooting sports (BB gun, Archery, and much more). Older/younger siblings are welcome to attend.
June 5-7 (5 PM - 8:30 PM): Woodlands Sports Park Camp - This camp will focus on sports related activities, and is for WEBELOS only.
These events are coordinated by the Boone Trails District, and will include scouts from throughout the district.
Dad N Lad Weekend - All Cub Scouts
Each summer the cub scouts have the opportunity to attend the Dad & Lad overnight summer camp. This camp is extremely popular in the Greater Saint Louis Area Council. We put our pack into the lottery for one of the spots, and received the following date:
July 14-15: Camp May (Beaumont)
We didn't get our first choice this year (June 16-17). Since, we didn't get our first choice the fees ($32/person) are fully refundable.
The programs start at 1 PM on Saturday and end at 11 AM on Sunday.
The cost of the weekend covers two meals, overnight accommodations, program, and a souvenir for each person. Dinner Saturday and Sunday breakfast are served in the camp. Tents are pitched by the previous week’s Scouts. Parents provide the leadership and the program is provided by the excellent summer camp staffs. Dad & Lad weekends (dads only) are held at S bar F Scout Ranch, Camp May, and Camp Lewallen. Dad is required to attend.
Highlights of the weekends are archery, BB gun shooting, swimming, games, and nature. In addition, fishing, canoeing, and rowing are available at S bar F Scout Ranch and Camp Lewallen.
Webelos Mini-Camp - WEBELOS 1
This program is for the Webelos after graduation from the third grade. This three-day, two-night experience takes place at Camp May, Swift Base, Camp Lewallen, or Pine Ridge Scout Camp. We put our pack into the lottery for one of the spots, and received the following date:
