Kids have a thousand muscles to wiggle with and only one dozen to sit still with, that dozen gets mighty tired mighty quickly.
Get your Cub Scout out and moving with our Cub Scout Activities ranging from one day events to weekend adventures to entire weeks full of fun.
Year Round Cub Scout Activities
Cub Scout Day Camps
At cub camp, we create adventures for Cub Scouts and their families. Cub Camp is an opportunity for your Cub Scout to enjoy Cub Scout activities in a day camp style setting. Dates and location vary throughout the Council and the summer.
Cub Scout Bullseye Bonanza
This fun-filled day will teach safety and proper BB, archery, and slingshot shooting techniques as well as give Tigers through Webelos an opportunity to focus on their Rank Specific Shooting Sports awards for Archery, Air-powered BB or Sling Shot. This program offers two separate sessions each day. (BB, Archery, and Sling Shot each session.) Scouts can attend both sessions or choose morning or afternoon.
Family Camp
Come join us for a weekend of family camping near the coast in the beautiful California redwoods of Santa Cruz & Santa Clara Counties. Archery, nature hikes, campfires, games, sports, and FUN! Great food, starting with cracker barrel Friday night, breakfast, lunch, and dinner on Saturday and Sunday breakfast.
Cub-O-Ree
Packs, this is a great opportunity for your brand new scouts that join in September to experience the fun of Scouting. Whether you have been to Chesebrough before or not, everyone is welcome to this fun one day camp!
Specialty Camps & Partner & Pal
All Cub Scouts are invited to bring a positive adult role model for a weekend camp out together. The exciting weekend centers around a fun theme and includes archery, Air-powered BB, sports, crafts, nature and more. Be ready to have a blast with your adult partner!
Pinewood Derby
The Pinewood Derby is a racing event for unpowered, unmanned miniature cars. With the help of adults, Scouts build their own cars from wood, usually from kits containing a block of pine wood, plastic wheels, and metal axles.
Come cheer on the Scouts and see all the hard work they have done to make the fastest and the most stylish cars in the district. Besides winners for time, we will also be judging based on appearance, so get out that graphite and detail that car, we are all going to “Do Our Best” and have a great time in the process.
