Join us this summer for an unmatched Cub Resident Camp experience!
Summer camp is undeniably the highlight of a Cub Scout’s year, and this summer at the Lake of the Ozarks Scout Reservation promises to be a one-of-a-kind ADVENTURE for our Cub Scouts and their FAMILY. Our approach to resident camps, ensures that FUN, FAMILY, and ADVENTURE go hand in hand. With an array of programs designed just for our Cub Scouts, each visit to camp will be a unique experience brimming with opportunities for FUN, growth, and camaraderie.
At the heart of the resident camp’s offerings is our commitment to FAMILY, rank, and age-appropriate activities. Whether your Cub Scout is a young Tiger or an enthusiastic Webelos, there is something for everyone. From nature hikes and crafts that ignite creativity to team-building exercises and water games that foster friendship, we have tailored experiences that align with the ranks of our scouts. This means that parents can rest easily knowing their scouts are engaged in meaningful activities that also promote rank advancement!
FAMILY time has always been an essential component of the Cub Scout experience, and we’ve woven it seamlessly into our camp schedule. This addition allows FAMILIES to bond through shared ADVENTURES. FAMILIES can explore the beautiful surroundings of the Lake of the Ozarks Scout Reservation together, participate in FUN, interactive games, or simply enjoy each other’s company around a cozy campfire. The blend of FAMILY involvement and Cub Scout ADVENTURES creates memories that last a lifetime.
One of the most exciting aspects of our camp is that every year brings a fresh set of experiences. As we embrace this new theme and activities, returning campers can look forward to discovering NEW skills while making connections with fellow scouts. The thrill of exploring the unknown ensures that no two summers are ever alike, fostering an ongoing sense of wonder and discovery among our scouts.
As you are gearing for another unforgettable summer at the Lake of the Ozarks Scout Reservation, we promise to keep FUN, FAMILY, and ADVENTURE in our Cub Scout resident camps! Join us as we create lasting memories filled with ADVENTURE, learning, and lots of laughter. This is where friendships flourish and lifelong skills begin—don’t miss out on being part of the excitement!
