General Information
The Cub Overnighter is designed for Cub Scouts and their families to have fun in the outdoors featuring activities like shooting sports, outdoor skills, and many others. Cub Scouts are required to have a parent with them for the entire event, but the whole family is welcome as well, so nobody has to get left at home!
Families will camp with their Cub Scout Pack as a group, but you can arrive or leave at whatever time works for your family’s schedule. Choose to stay overnight or just to visit for the daytime activities. Activities will include demonstrations by the Plaquemines Parish Sherriff’s Dept. as well as a campfire program and flag retirement ceremony on Saturday.

For Example, a tent that claims it can sleep 4 usually means 2 comfortably), a rainfly for you tent (may come with the tent) a tarp for under the tent, a cot or air mattress, a pump for the air mattress (needs to work on batteries since we have no electricity), sleeping bags, pillows, sheets, blankets, flash lights/lanterns, lounge chairs, bug spray, sun screen, ponchos, a mallet to put tent stakes in, a coffee mug if you drink coffee and most importantly, a cup to drink with and/or water bottle for each member in your party.
