Changes to Cub Scout Pack Overnight Camping effective Sept. 1

Effective Sept. 1, 2023, Cub Scout Packs who are conducting their own overnight camping activity may now camp up to two consecutive nights. Cub Scout Packs who are conducting their own overnight camping activities must continue to have at least one registered adult leader who is trained in Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation (BALOO), oversees the planning and is in attendance for the Pack campout. This updated policy also applies to Webelos and Arrow of Light Dens who may conduct Den coordinated campouts. The policy will be updated in the Guide to Safe Scouting and other resources on Sept. 1. An updated version of the BALOO training will also be released at this time.  

For additional information regarding Cub Scout camping, including required youth protection policies, please review the Guide to Safe Scouting.
