Cub Scout Camping Check List

Camping with the Pack is one of the best memories that Cub Scouts excitedly talk about.  Pack 99 carefully selects camping locations that are accessible for novice campers, but still with plenty of nature and activities for the experienced campers.

We strongly encourage all parents parent to try out camping with their sons - it's one of the core activities of Scouting and can have a tremendous impact on a boy's development.
