Often, one of the big reasons kids and their families join Cub Scouts is the chance to get out in the outdoors. Overnight camping is one of the most exciting, popular events on the Cub Pack calendar. But in order to make that happen, Pack leadership has to be trained...not just in the practicals of how to camp, but in how to run a camping program that fits into the Cub Scout program as a whole.
