Campouts

Scouting’s origin story begins in 1907 with a week-long camp, organized for a small group of boys. Scouting today has adapted to the needs of modern youth, but the outdoor program remains a key element. In the process of a simple weekend campout, Scouts learn to plan and prepare, practice communication and leadership, work together to overcome adversity, and celebrate challenges overcome. The camaraderie and friendships built on these weekends is also a constant theme in reasons Scouts give for enjoying their Scouting years.
