Scouting for Everyone. Join the Adventure!
When a young person joins Scouting, they are stepping into a promise of outdoor adventure. We know that both boys and girls thrive on programs that spark their imagination, build confidence, and get them moving in the great outdoors.
Below is an overview of the classic adventures our Activities Committee hosts every single year. You can find deep dives, registration details, and specific dates in the menu on this page.

Bring the whole family out to Quail Hill Scout Reservation for our premier fall festival! Cubtoberfest is a jam-packed day of outdoor games, seasonal activities, and a massive evening show. Choose to join us just for the daytime fun, or pitch a tent and stay for the full overnight experience.
