Get ready for a weekend packed with adventure, memories, and celebration as we gather at Camp Big Timber to mark an incredible milestone—100 years of camping, friendship, and tradition!

This special anniversary campout will bring together units from across the council for a one-of-a-kind Cub Scout weekend that blends classic favorites with a few exciting new activities created just for the occasion. Whether you’re competing in traditional skills events, trying something brand new, or simply enjoying the spirit of camp, there will be something for everyone.

Step back in time by visiting our temporary Camp Big Timber Museum, where displays of photos, stories, and memorabilia will share reflections from generations of campers who have made Big Timber what it is today.

Saturday morning kicks off with a Grand Opening ceremony, setting the stage for a full day of activities and fun. Later in the day, gather with friends old and new as we cut the cake and celebrate 100 years of Camp Big Timber—a century of adventures worth cheering about!

Cooking is on your own with your Pack, but you may pre-order a lunch when you register. Pre-Ordered Lunch includes an all-beef hot dog OR grilled cheese, bag of chips, drink, and a cookie for $6.

As night falls on Saturday, join us for a special patriotic campfire honoring not only the camp’s 100th anniversary, but also the 250th anniversary of the United States. Bring a song, skit, poem, or story to share.  Let’s fill the evening with inspiring moments, great songs, and the kind of campfire memories that have been part of Big Timber for generations.

This is more than a campout, it’s a chance to celebrate the past, enjoy the present, and look ahead to the next century of camping at Camp Big Timber.

All Cub Scout Packs are invited to be part of this historic celebration. Pack your gear, bring your camp spirit, as we celebrate our Camp and Scouting!
