Camping

Camping with the Cub Scouts

Pack 244 makes two camping trips per academic year. Both trips coincide with local school breaks (Fall and Spring) as much as possible, but does not always perfectly align for every school. Parents/Guardians are required to attend with their scout and supervise their scout. All scouting rules are strictly enforced for the safety of all Pack 244 members.
