Summer Day Camp

Pack 1461 is getting ready for Summer Day Camp!!!

Join your fellow scouts at NCAC / Potomac District’s Day Camp July 25 – July 29 at Fourth Presbyterian Church School, Potomac, MD!

Take Flight on a Galaxy Trek!!

Are you ready for a full week of non-stop summer fun? Our Cub Scouts will be on the trail for Adventure, Learning, New Skills, Fellowship and Lots of Fun! This year's theme is Expedition: Galactic Trek! Cubs will enjoy a wide range of daily activities including Sports, Nature, Scout Skills, Arts & Crafts, BB's, Archery, Den Time and STEM Lab.

New Tigers are welcome!

Boys who will be in Grade 1 for the 2016-2017 school year and who are registered with Pack 1461 are eligible to attend Day Camp. There is a 1:1 Cub to Adult ratio for Tiger Cubs, so each Tiger must have an adult partner attending camp with him throughout the entire week.

Camp supplies and Cub Scout supervision

Each scout receives a camp T-shirt, water bottle, craft supplies and all the goodies needed for a week of fun. Cubs must bring a bag lunch each day, no refrigeration is available and parents should send freezer packs if necessary. One adult (Den Walker) is needed from our Pack for every 5 scouts to escort the adventurers through camp. All Den Walkers must complete Youth Protection Training (YPT) and provide proof of completion.

Camp hours

Camp hours are 8:15 am to 3:30 pm (Monday through Thursday) and 10:30 am to 7:00 pm Friday (check back for hours as they are subject to change)

Registration, volunteer commitment and fees

Cubs register for camp through Pack 1461. See below for step-by-step registration details. As a part of the registration, one adult partner for each scout must volunteer to be the Den Walker for one day of camp. Fees vary based on the date of registration.
