Kids have a thousand muscles to wiggle with and only one dozen to sit still with, that dozen gets mighty tired mighty quickly.

Cub Scout Activities 2026
Cub Scout Bullseye Bonanza
August 22, or September 26
Get ready for an exciting day on the range! Join us for a fun-filled adventure where Cub Scouts will learn safety and master proper techniques for air-powered BB guns, archery, and slingshots. This is the perfect chance for Tigers through Webelos to focus on earning their Rank Specific Shooting Sports awards—an exclusive achievement you can only get at a Council event! Even Lions can join in the fun with archery and slingshots. We offer two separate sessions each day, covering all three activities, so Scouts can attend both sessions or choose between morning and afternoon. Grab your adult partner and aim for fun!
Cub Scout Resident Camp

Cub Scout Day Camp is an action-packed, multi-day outdoor adventure where your Scout can be a superhero! Trained volunteers will lead the Cubs into action-packed days of Target Sports, nature, hands-on STEM challenges, and heroic teamwork.
At the camp, Scouts build real-life superpowers: solving problems, sticking to it even when hard, believing in yourself, and leadership—developed through mentally and physically challenging activities. On the way, they will get rank advancement requirements, special awards, and pride from conquering new challenges.
Just a few days and you’ll see your Scout grow in confidence, make new friends, and discover they are capable of much more than they ever thought. And every hero needs a place to train-this summer Cub Camp is where legends begin!
