Cub and Webelos Resident Camps
The Curtis S. Read Scout Reservation hosts two fantastic camping experiences
for Cubs each summer. Cub Resident Camp is for all Wolf, Bear and Webelos.
Webelos Camp is for boys entering their first or second year as a Webelos.
Both camps feature exciting programs that include outdoor education,
archery, boating, swimming, hiking and crafts.
Boys spend the week in two person canvas wall tents on platforms and eat
prepared meals in a dining facility. Scouts come home with a greater
appreciation of the outdoors, new friends and a new sense of confidence in
themselves.
The Curtis S. Read Scout Reservation has become one of America’s
premier Scout Camps. This picturesque 1,000 acre property is located north
of Lake George, New York in the Adirondack Park. The property boasts
excellent facilities and a staff that is dedicated to ensuring that each
Scout has the best week at camp possible.
Webelos Camp
All Webelos Scouts and graduating Bears are encouraged to attend Webelos Camp at Camp
Buckskin in the Read Scout Reservation. This week-long sleep away experience features
archery, campfires, hiking, camping skills, fishing, boating and more. The hike to the
peak of Mt. Stevens is one the week's highlights. Each boy learns a tremendous amount
about both Scouting and himself in the pristine setting of the Adirondack Mountains. Our
top-notch staff ensures that there is never a moment without activity during a boy's stay
at camp. All boys live in two man tents on a platform and are served excellent meals in
our dining hall. Not only will the Scouts go home with a great experience at Read, they
will also have advancements and new friends!
Cub Scout Resident Camp
Wolfs, Bears and Webelos Scouts are invited to a fabulous week-long Cub Scout
Resident Camp experience at the Curtis S. Read Scout Reservation. This is an adventurous,
action packed "sleep-away" program. The days are filled with a variety of
activities including boating, swimming, archery, hiking, crafts, nature and Scouting
skills and advancement. The staff is made up of experienced Cub Leaders from our area who
spend the year planning out the best possible program. Each den will be supervised by a
den leader and an assistant. The camp is held in Camp Waubeeka and the boys are served
meals prepared for them. Boys stay in two man tents on a platform with cots. Your son will
have a great time at Read Scout Reservation!
