Thanks for spending time with us at the Cradle of Liberty Council’s Cub Adventures, Cub Scout resident summer camp. Whether your group is joining us for a 3- night or 5-night session, we promise to “Do Our Best” to ensure that each participant has an amazing time. Cub Adventures is first and foremost a resident camping experience for Cub Scouts. Please join us in working to ensure it is enjoyable for everyone: the youngest Wolf Scout, the greenest leader or volunteer 14-year old staff member to the most seasoned of the Webelos campers, veteran adult leaders, and camp staff. Our aim is to make sure that on the ride home your Scout talks about his amazing adventures with dependable and charismatic staff. Our program works to deliver the promise of “outing” in Scouting. New friendships will be forged as our Scouts explore age-based Adventure Tracks focused on undercover learning. Education and advancement are delivered through fun outdoor activities that play to the expansive imaginations of even our most experienced Scouts. Cubs heading into second grade in the fall and younger siblings will enjoy participating in our Pioneer Track. This will launch soon- to-be second graders toward their Wolf rank. Cubs heading into third grade get to enter our Voyager Track, filled with the challenges of the Bear achievements and electives. Webelos heading into fourth grade in the fall can explore camp with the Pathfinder Track. Pathfinders will start turning the corner towards Boy Scouting and sprint through numerous requirements for their Webelos Badge. Our Trailblazers Adventure Track will catapult our eldest Cub Scouts, rising fifth graders, towards earning their Arrow of Light as well as show off a bunch of Boy Scout activities that will help them in the outdoors and in their future Scouting endeavors. Parents are encouraged to participate with their sons in all the activities around camp. Afternoons are filled with a mix of open programming as well as opportunities to schedule larger group instructions. These sorts of fun activities include swimming in our pool, boating, BBs, archery, nature & ecology, handicraft, Scout skills, and field sports & games. Every evening will find us doing many different camp-wide adventure activities. At any time, your Pack is allowed time to run your own program out of your campsite Our Cub Adventures program takes advantage of the fact that most boys, young and old, are explorers by nature. Our greatest desire is that each and every camper enjoys a fun outdoor camping experience and leaves with memories and friendships that last a lifetime. Yours in Scouting, Brian Bauer Nancy Ward Zach Hanly Camp Director Program Director Camp Commissioner 1 2013 Cub Adventures at Camp Hart Leader’s Guide The Building Blocks of Cub Scouting BSA Mission Statement The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Scout Law. The Scout Oath The Scout Law On my honor, I will do my best A Scout is: Trustworthy to do my duty to God and my country Loyal and to obey the Scout Law; Helpful to help other people at all times; Friendly to keep myself physically strong, Courteous mentally awake, and morally straight. Kind Obedient Cheerful Thrifty Brave Clean Reverent The Aims of Scouting The aims of Scouting are threefold: Character Development Citizenship Training Personal Fitness The Methods of Cub Scouting In fulfillment of the aims and mission of Scouting, Cub Scouting uses the following eight methods: 1. Ideals (Motto, Promise, Law) 2. Den 3. Advancement 4. Family involvement 5. Activities 6. Home and neighborhood centered 7. Uniform 8. Character Connections 2 2013 Cub Adventures at Camp Hart Leader’s Guide Cub Adventures Mission Statement The mission of Cub Adventures at Camp Hart is to provide an exciting and creative program that reinforces the aims of Scouting by engaging our Cub Scouts in exploration, imagination, education, and fun. We hope that our Cub Scouts and their families will walk away with memories that will last a lifetime. Five Focal Points of the Program To fulfill our Cub Adventures mission we have focused on the following five key areas of Cub Scouting as we developed our 2013 Cub Adventures program: Scouting: At the heart of our program is a commitment to the promises of Scouting. The traditions and values, the focus on outdoor skills, and working as dens on age-appropriate, challenging activities are all extremely important to us. It is a part of everything we do, and we hope that each person’s summer camp experience is the highlight of their Scouting year. Advancement: The fundamental purpose of advancement is to recognize a Cub’s hard work thereby building his self-confidence, especially when it comes to trying new things. Summer camp is the perfect opportunity to learn and master all those Cub achievements and activities that are best done outdoors. Our program

This guide offers a brief description of each lodge/cabin/campsite with photos where available. Resica Falls Scout Reservation Situated in the beautiful Pocono Mountains, Resica Falls Scout Reservation is a 4200+ acre Scouting Paradise. Set in what seems like an endless track of mountain trails, clear streams, and waterfalls is an amazing program of activities for Scouts to enjoy both for their summer camp experience and for units to enjoy a camping weekend. Resica Falls was founded in 1957 by a joint effort between the Valley Forge and Philadelphia Councils to create a huge parcel of land for Scouts to use for generations to come. Although the Valley Forge Council would become the sole proprietor of the property in 1965, these same two councils would merge in 1996 creating the Cradle of Liberty Council where Scouts from Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties would once again find themselves stewards of this wilderness treasure.

  • Camping Directory
    A Buffalo's Scout Camp Directory The decision to create this directory was made during my Wood Badge course. My patrol mates and I were having a discussion with our Troop Guide about where our troops attend summer camp. We started talking about the different camps and our troop guide thought that a camp directory would be nice to have. Not too long before the Wood Badge course, I was talking to one of the assistant scoutmasters for my son's troop about the fact that the boys always seem to want to go to the same place every year. I thought a directory of Boy Scout camps in the area might encourage them to broaden their summer camp experience. So, this directory became one of my Wood Badge ticket items. It wasn't until after I had written my ticket that I found out that the Order of the Arrow already had a directory. At first, I thought about changing my ticket item. But, I saw the OA directory and noticed that it did not have all of the information that I wanted to see. I decided to build on what the OA had started. During the initial phases of my research, I learned that there are over 800 Boy Scout camps in the United States. This was way too many for me to address in the amount of time that I could dedicate to this endeavor. I decided to limit my research to camps that were within a 200 mile radius of the Baltimore Area Council headquarters. Because I had to find out the distance to each camp, it is included in this directory.
