When a youth joins Scouting, they join an organization that values the fun and excitement of experiencing the outdoors. Each scouting unit is encouraged to provide its youth members with enriching, positive outdoor activities.
Adherence to the BSA’s policies found in the Guide to Safe Scouting, Youth Protection Guidelines, and Scouting Safely are required. In addition, careful program planning will assure a positive experience for your unit, the Scout and their family.
Eno River District and its scouting units offer lots of camping opportunities.
Cub Scout Camping
Each Cub Scout camps with his/her parent or guardian. The campers learn the basics of camping, under the direction of their Den Leader.
Overnighters
Packs and Webelos dens hold overnight camping trips as part of their annual program. Webelos with their parent/guardian may also be invited to camp with local Scouts BSA troops.
Cub Scout Family Camping
Well-planned, organized family camping at the pack level.
Cub Scout Day Camp / Twilight Camp
Several days of fun-filled activities, usually in June. Activities typically include BB guns, archery, sports, crafts, nature and Scout skills.
Webelos Resident Camp, aka Webelos Woods
This is a great way for a Webelos scout and parent/guardian to camp for an extended time and experience troop-level activities.

Camporees are three day weekends full of lots of troop activities.
