This annual tradition is the first time that many Scouts are away from their families for an extended time. It helps prepare them for the week-long Boy Scout camps they will participate in starting next year.

At camp, the Scouts participate in many activities, such as swimming, archery, and BB gun shooting. At Scoutcraft they learn basic orienteering, knot tying and cooking over an open fire. At the nature area, the boys learn to identify plants and trees, learn geology and get to handle snakes and turtles.

The two favorite activities are exploring the creek that runs through Beaumont Reservation and the trip into Mud Cave.
