Den Leaders and Cubmasters! Prepare for fun and get ready for 2025 Summer Camp – help your Pack and your Den Leaders find the summer camp experience that is right for them:

For current Lions and Tigers (rising Tigers and Wolves)

Day Camp is the introduction to summer camp. Cub Scouts from rising Tigers to rising Arrow of Light Scouts (AOLs) can attend Day Camp, but it is especially good for rising Tigers and rising Wolves – the first and second year campers. Cub Scouts attend with their Den Walkers during the day and return home for the evening after participating in a host of fun activities and Cub Scout Adventures. Day Camp is offered all over the National Capital Area Council with a variety of weeks to choose from.
