Camping is usually the highlight of a Cub Scout year. Campouts are always fun occasions and the Scouts have a blast. We do fair weather, easy camping with cars not far from the tents. We try for great camp food, and a fun experience all around.
That being said, the Pack will provide the common elements for camping. Food, eating supplies, beverages will all be there for you.
