Summer Camp is Right Around the Corner!

Read about Scout Leader Josh Rubio and his son's experience in Scouting and how Josh takes advantage of the many perks of being an adult leader. “I enjoyed summer camp,” he says. “What 40-year-old gets to go shoot rifles, shoot arrows, build fires, eat smores, and sing campfire songs? Every night I got to swim, play, and enjoy it with my son.” 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Making memories and learning life lessons at Summer Camp is one of the greatest experiences in Scouting!  Is your Scout going to camp this summer?  There are lots of opportunities for Cubs, Webelos and Boy Scouts.
