Cub Scout unit-coordinated camping events are those overnight events scheduled, planned, and coordinated by individual pack leadership at the unit level. This includes Webelos and Arrow of Light den-coordinated camping. Cub Scout unit-coordinated camping events do not include district/council level-planned and coordinated overnight events where the district/council is coordinating event leadership and program. Examples of district/council-coordinated overnight events include “Webelos-rees,” council-coordinated family camps, Winter Weekends, and summer resident camps.

This change is to help emphasize the BSA’s age-appropriate and progressive programming, promote safety, and emphasize that Cub Scout camping is intended to be easily accessible for families. 

Yes. Cub Scouts can still camp multiple nights as part of district and council-coordinated overnight events.

Our current plan is to begin offering more district/council-coordinated Cub Scout overnight camping events.  This plan is in development and there is no current timeline for when these events will start.

No. This is still considered a unit-level overnight event. Webelos/AOL dens camping with troops must still follow all Cub Scout camping requirements including the limit of only one night and having a BALOO-trained, registered adult leader in attendance. 

Because this is new, our facility reservation system provider is working with multiple councils to determine and implement a solution. In the interim, Cub Scout packs making facility reservations may only reserve one night and must agree that attendees will be staying no more than one night as part of confirming their reservation.

Cub Scout packs will still be able to camp for two nights at Camp Guyasuta. This is because Camp Guyasuta is annually inspected and accredited as meeting all BSA National Camping Standards and is located within a guaranteed ten minutes of emergency medical services and a hospital. Camp Guyasuta currently requires two-night reservations on weekends due to the high demand for facilities and the challenges of managing usage conflicts when different groups reserve back-to-back nights. 

While all LHC camp facilities are annually inspected and accredited as meeting BSA National Camping Standards, only Camp Guyasuta is located within a guaranteed ten minutes of emergency medical services and a hospital.  At this time, camping at Camps Anawanna, Baker, Potomac, Seph Mack, and Heritage Reservation, due to their longer distance to emergency medical services and a hospital, will remain limited to one night.

Existing multi-night Pack reservations will be honored. New pack overnight camping reservations will be limited to only one night or to splitting their group with no individual staying more than one night. 

Yes. The council-approved Cub Scout camping site list is being reviewed and updated now. It will be posted to this Weekend Camping page as soon as it is ready. 

A form will soon be added to this Weekend Camping page for you to provide basic information about the location.  Once submitted, the LHC Camping Department will coordinate an appraisal of the site as soon as we are able. 

As part of registering with the Boy Scouts of America, adult volunteers must agree to the Scouter Code of Conduct which includes an agreement to “…respect and abide by the Rules and Regulations of the Boy Scouts of America, BSA policies, and BSA-provided training…” By choosing to ignore this new policy, registered adults potentially open themselves to personal liability should something happen, and violations may result in BSA membership revocation.
