Camping - the great Outdoor Adventure!

Cub Scout Summer Camp

There is no better way to retain scouts than to offer them excitement and adventure in the outdoors.Del-Mar-Va Council has great facilities where Scouts make nature their classroom!  During the summer, our council offers fantastic programs for Cub Scouts at Resident Camp at Henson Scout Reservation and Day Camp at several locations spread across the peninsula. Some of these day camps offer multiple weeks of programming and Scouts are encouraged to sign up for multiple sessions. At camp, Scouts will learn, play, advance and enjoy experiencing the out-of-doors.

National High Adventure Trips 

Each year, the Del-Mar-Va Council sends contingents of scouts and scouters to each of the now four BSA High Adventure Bases. Contingents explore the rapids at Summit Bechtel Reserve, trek the mountains at Philmont Scout Ranch, sail at the Florida Sea Base, or paddle through the majestic Northwoods Wilderness of Northern Tier. These are fantastic capstone experiences of the outdoor program of the BSA. Click here for information about the Del-Mar-Va Council Contingent trips.
