Cub Summer
Adventures!
Spirit Of Adventure • Boy Scouts of America
Let’s Build Some Great Family Memories
If you were to use one word to describe today’s families it would be, “busy”. With the
hustle and bustle of the day, Mary’s dance
lesson and Johnny’s Cub Scout meeting it is
hard to find activities that the whole family can
enjoy. Scouting provides plenty of opportunities
for parents and their children to grow together.
Scouting is a safe place for youth to laugh,
learn, make mistakes and build stronger relationships with their leaders, peers and parents.
This year the Spirit Of Adventure Council is
opening its Day Camp Programs to the whole
family. Our Cub programs are designed for boys
and girls ages 6-10. Brothers, sisters, cousins,
grandparents, moms and dads are all invited.
Our Cub Scout camping programs invites the
entire family into the outdoors.
By opening camps to families the Spirit of Adventure Council provides an excellent day
care option for families with boys and girls. Parents can drop off their children in one
camp instead of two. They also have the option to spend the week or part of the week
sharing the adventure with their kids. Children’s memories of summer experiences can
last a lifetime. In 2016 families can share that memory as a family.
At its heart, camping is a family and communal activity, done best and most successfully with the people with whom we love to spend time. We go to the beach with our
friends and families. If we’re truly blessed, we even get to spend some of our family
vacation with our best friends. Cub Scout Camp is another opportunity to spend
precious quality time with our families and friends.
There is so much FUN to be had at a a Spirit of Adventure camp. All our activities are
every bit as appropriate for a similar age sibling as they are for a Cub Scout. The Cub
Scout’s brother or sister… or even their parents… will enjoy the waterfront or the
archery range just as much as the Scout.
Everybody benefits from going to camp, interacting with friends, trying new things, and
pushing past personal boundaries. The children strengthen growing friendships and
kindle new ones. They look up to their counselors and learn that there are many adults
and older youth who want them to succeed and grow. Parents connect with like-minded adults, too and expand their circle of friendship. And of course, spending a day at
camp together encourages the family to reconnect and strengthen the family unit.
This summer let’s play outside with the family and create some lifelong memories..
