Explore our world and the oceans as we go on a Sea Adventure! Sail the ocean blue and tame the wild waves with our council’s Camp Independence Guides learning skills that will carry your Cub Scout on the trail of life.
Join our Pack July 15-18 at Laurel Highlands Council’s Camp Independence, for the ultimate Cub Scouting camping experience. Scouts, their leaders, and parents/guardians stay overnight for three days at the camp, part of the council’s Heritage Reservation, nestled in the Laurel Highlands wilderness. The camp has many activities for the scouts to enjoy, like BB guns, archery, climbing, hiking, swimming, fishing, boating, campfires, and more!
Our fully furnished campsites offer wall tents on platforms, covered picnic tables, latrines with wash basins, and campfire circles for your use. Want to bring your own camping equipment with you? Go for it!
And Webelos scouts get to do even more! Webelos have the option to arrive on Thursday, July 14th for an extra day of Webelos specific programs. These activities for older scouts have included in the past: a hike to another camp on the council’s reservation, BMX biking, shooting pellet guns, and extra time boating and fishing.
