Remaining Cub Day Camps
Each day at Cub Day Camp begins with a traditional flag ceremony. Boy Scouts (11 to 18 years of age) provide assistance and encouragement to Cub Scouts as they participate in both flag raising and lowering ceremonies.
Under close supervision by adult leaders trained in BB gun safety, Cub Scouts learn proper care and use of BB guns.
As an important part of any Scouting program, Cub Scouts learn the basics of proper flag care and display.
Under close supervision by adult leaders trained in archery safety, Cub Scouts learn about the care, maintenance, and use of archery equipment.
Depending on your district's day camp schedule, a nutritious breakfast and/or lunch is available the entire week of Cub Day Camp.
Themed arts and crafts are an important part of the day camp experience - not only are they fun and challenging, but are also tied to Cub Scout advancement.
While at Cub Scout Day Camp, Scouts learn new Scout skills, develop old ones, and have fun while doing them!
What is Cub Scout Day Camp?
Cub Scout Day Camp offers boys a chance to make crafts, shoot BB guns,
shoot bows and arrows, go swimming, go boating, play games, learn about
nature, be outside with their friends and most importantly have fun!
Each year the camp is themed and all the activities and crafts will
follow that theme.
Each of the council's six districts operates a week-long Cub Scout Day Camp geared towards offering Tiger Cubs, Wolf and Bear Cubs, and Webelos Scouts with a quality Scouting experience designed to challenge, stimulate, educate, and entertain while providing opportunities to earn Cub Scout advancements.
The day camps that are operated within the Shawnee Trails Council are operated according to the guidelines established by the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America and meet the requirements and guidelines of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, State of Illinois or Tennessee (as determined by the location that the day camp is operated).
Who may attend Cub Scout Day Camp?
Cub Scout Day Camp is open to all registered Tiger Cubs (must be at least 7 years old and will attend first grade in the fall), Wolf Cubs (will attend second grade in the fall), Bear Cub (will attend third grade in the fall) and Webelos Scouts (will attend either 4th or 5th grade and not yet 11 years old).
Boys not presently registered as a Cub Scout may participate; however, they will be registered in a Cub Scout pack that serves the community where they live. There will be an additional fee of $17.40 to cover their Cub Scout registration fee and insurance.

Are there opportunities for parents and pack leaders to help?
Camp is staffed entirely by parents and volunteers. We need YOU to be a
part of the FUN! When you volunteer to be a chaperone, you will be asked
to attend Staff Training. You can volunteer to help out by completing
the Staff Registration form found on page 12 and the Health and Medical
Form #34605 Parts A and C on pages 13-14 and sending it to the Council
Service Center. The Camp Director will contact you with the details of
camp. Volunteers who help during the entire camp will receive a camp
t-shirt. The Staff Training you receive is designed to provide the
knowledge and skills you need to fulfill your duties as a chaperone.
Most Camps have a special program (Tot-Lot) for the younger children of
Staff volunteers. All children that stay in the Tot-Lot must be
potty-trained. Some camps may require a small fee for Tot-Lot supplies.
If a fee is required, it is due on the first day/evening of camp.
