Cub Scout Camping Guidelines
(Updated June 2002.) The Boy Scouts of America has established the
following guidelines for its members' participation in camping
activities:
Den Camping
Overnight camping by first-, second-, and third-grade Cub Scout dens
is not approved, and certificates of liability insurance will not be
provided by the Boy Scouts of America.
A Webelos Scout may participate in overnight den camping when
supervised by his mother or father. It is essential that each Webelos
Scout be under the supervision of an adult. Joint Webelos den-troop
campouts are encouraged for dens of fifth-grade Webelos Scouts with
their parents to strengthen ties between the pack and troop. Den
leaders, pack leaders, and parents are expected to accompany the boys
on approved trips.
Council-Organized Family Camp (Cub Parent
Weekends)
Council-organized family camps are overnight events involving more
than one pack. In most cases, youth members will be under the
supervision of a parent or guardian. In all cases, each youth
participant is responsible to a specific adult. All overnight
activities involving more than one pack must be approved by the
council. Council-organized family camps must be conducted in
accordance with established standards as given in National Standards
for Council Family Camping, No. 13-408. Tigers, Cub Scouts, and
Webelos Scouts may participate.
Pack Overnighters
These are pack-organized overnight events involving more than one
family from a single pack, focused on age-appropriate Cub Scout
activities. If nonmembers
(siblings) participate, the event must be structured accordingly to
accommodate them. BSA health and safety and youth protection
guidelines apply. In most cases, each youth participant is responsible
to a specific adult. Adults giving leadership to a pack
overnighter must complete Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation (BALOO)
(No. 34162A) to properly understand the importance of program intent,
youth protection guidelines, health and safety, site selection,
age-appropriate activities, and sufficient adult participation.
Tigers, Cub Scouts, and Webelos Scouts may participate.
