About Our Camp
Welcome to the San Benito Cub Camp! Fort Benito at Bolado Park in Tres Pinos is a great place to make lifelong memories. Bolado Park offers exciting activities for Cub Scouts AND Tiger Cubs to investigate their world. Those activities include BB gun shooting, archery, leatherwork, and more!
Cub Scout Day Camp is a multi-day outdoor experience under the supervision of specially trained volunteers. The program is thoughtfully designed to teach Cub Scouts basic life skills through fun activities ranging from Shooting Sports to nature to STEM projects.

Scouts earn requirements for rank advancement, earn special awards and gain a lot of self-confidence in a short amount of time.
