Who Can Come to Camp? Boys and girls entering grades 1-5 in the fall of 2020 may attend Adventure Camp. Our day camps are primarily geared towards Cub Scouts, but we are not a closed organization camp- anyone who would like to learn more about the Cub Scout program and have fun at camp is welcome to attend. Parents and Adult Walkers Each pack is required to send one adult “walker” for every five Cub Scouts to walk with the Scouts from station to station and help the Scouts at program areas each day. Walkers do not have to be the same person all week. It is the responsibility of the pack leadership to make sure their pack has the appropriate number of walkers secured for each day and communicate with the camp director. A walker does not have to be a registered member of the BSA, however they must be willing to actively help and portray the values of the Scout Oath and Scout Law. A Note About Tigers In compliance with BSA policies, all Tigers (any youth entering 1st grade in the fall of 2020) must have an adult accompany them and help them in a one-on-one capacity at every Scouting event, including day camps. The same adult does not have to attend all week, however the Camp Director will need to know the names of the adult partner attending each day.
