Cub Scout camping is an excellent activity for all Packs. It is an essential
component of delivering the promise of Scouting to your members young
and old. Cub Camping is to be introductory in nature to all Cub Scouting
Participants. To achieve this goal, camping should occur a relatively short
distance from each Pack’s meeting place at a location that is familiar to the
leaders of the campout and takes into account the skill level of all
participants.
The guide to safe scouting limits Cub Scout camping to council designated
locations. To meet this need, the The Cradle of Liberty Council Camping
Committee has approved the following sites for Cub Scouts to camp:
• BSA Council-owned camps and programs
• State and County Parks located within the Delaware Valley
• Overnight stays at established museums and sport facilities that are
designated program partners and organizations that advertise
though our program calendar. These include: the Battleship New
Jersey, Camden Aquarium, Franklin Institute, Reading Phillies,
Beach Jam, etc.
Additionally, the following facilities have been reviewed and approved by our
Camping Committee as acceptable for Cub Pack Camping:
• Troop 108 Campground in East Greenville
• Alverthorpe Park, Abington Township Park
If you are planning to have your pack camp at a facility that is not described
or listed, review this site appraisal form and contact the camping committee to submit your request for the additional site to be approved.
Approvals are based on general requirements and do not represent an
endorsement to utilize that facility. Facilities described and listed are
generally acceptable for pack camping but each unit needs to review the
facility in light of the needs and skill levels of your Pack’s participants.
