Fall and Spring Campouts
Fall and Spring Campouts
At the Fall and Spring campouts our cubs can have a great time whether its crisp fall air or a warm Spring Day!
The campout is typically held at D-Bar-A scout Ranch in Metamora where we do the following activities (depending upon the weather):
Hiking
Fishing
Human Foose-ball
Ga-Ga Ball
Horseback Riding
Archery/BB Guns
Campfires
More details:
Camps typically run from Friday night through Sunday morning
The pack usually rents a heated cabin with a stove and fridge .
Some sleep in the cabin but many stay in their own tent
Food is provided through camp fees and popcorn sale proceeds (Make sure you eat before you come on Friday night.)
Most arrive between 6-8 PM Friday Night. There will usually be a campfire with late night smores
On Friday evening we usually set up a chore chart for meals and meal clean up. Parent and scouts team up to either cook and set up , or clean after the meal.
On Saturday we will receive a schedule from the camp for horseback riding/archery/BB guns and we will arrange our hikes and other activities around those.
On Sunday morning we usually have a lighter breakfast and then all clean up the cabin and camsite and then leave. We are usually done by 10 AM.
