Cub Scout Approved Camp Sites
Approvals are updated as they are made available. Note that facilities and seasonal information for locations are as accurate as possible, but may change (and we have limited or no information on many). If you have information that should be reflected here, please contact us. We would also appreciate information on broken or missing links so that we may keep this as accurate as possible for your needs.

If you would like to search for specific camping facilities, including types, locations and available facilities, please try our Search Page - you can narrow the search to only Cub-approved locations.
