This Cub Scout Family Camping Weekend is an opportunity to experience Scouting with others! Keeping the Promise for only our NEW Scouts joining, we offer a free day pass. You are welcome to stay the night at a cost and need to bring your camping gear.

This year's theme is Highland Games with a twist of stepping through the time portal to the land of the Dinosaurs. Where Nessie and her kin are playing. There will be a variety of STEM Level activities to include things for nature enthusiasts, fishermen, and more. We will also have a campsite decorating contest in the theme for our campsite-or-treat (Trunk-or treat style only at the campsites) event Saturday evening. Cubs and families are encouraged to wear a scout friendly costume for the evening.

The program schedule is jam packed with activities; however, if a Scout tires out or a program doesn’t interest you, feel free to do your own thing. Please try not to arrive late to sessions, as safety briefings must start on time. Participants are invited to camp from Friday evening through Sunday, or any portion in between. Families are welcome to arrive on Friday to set-up camp and relax (this makes Saturday easier). Likewise, after a day of activity on Saturday, you are welcome to take it easy Saturday night and make your way home on Sunday A.M. No food will be provided this weekend. Campers have the benefit of creating a thrilling menu of steak and crab legs or keeping it simple. Regardless, be prepared to clean up what you bring. Please check the program schedule when planning your meals to ensure you have enough time to prepare, eat, and tidy up.

The Albemarle District Family Camping event held at Currituck County Rural Center for all Cub Scouts and their families and/or leaders to experience together.
