Important Changes to Cub Scouting
Effective Sept. 1, 2023, Cub Scout packs who are conducting their own overnight camping activities may now camp up to two consecutive nights. This is a change from the earlier policy on pack unit-coordinated camping, which was previously limited to single overnight experiences. All units serving girls must have at least one registered adult leader over the age of 21, in addition to existing leadership requirements.
Past Cub Scout Events
NOTE: Per changes to the Guide to Safe Scouting,
Cub Scout units ARE REQUIRED to have a minimum of TWO BSA registered adult leaders at every event, one of which must have current BSA Hazardous Weather Training and BALOO. Cub Family camping requires all attending family members to register for the event. Please have one unit leader register all attending scouts and families if possible.
Scouts BSA units are required to have a minimum of TWO BSA registered adult leaders, one of which must have current BSA Hazardous Weather Training and BSA Outdoor Training. All adults camping overnight with a Scouts BSA unit must have current YPT and be a BSA registered leader/ member. NO UNREGISTERED ADULTS MAY STAY OVERNIGHT WITH A SCOUTS BSA UNIT. Any unit serving girls must also have at least one registered adult female over the age of 21 at all scouting events. Please have one adult leader register all participants if possible.
