Camping

Some of the most fun we have as a Pack is on our campouts. Camping is central to scouting and it allows the Scouts to experience nature and adventure in a fun and safe atmosphere while learning and growing with their fellow scouts. All cub scout campouts are family campouts and a parent or guaradian is required to participate with each Scout.

See the Pack 400 Camping Checklist for suggested items to bring.

Pack 400 - 2019 Fall Campout - Camp David Wortman

CLICK HERE FOR CAMP WORTMAN INFO

Where: 

Camp David Wortman, 56651 Eshom Valley Rd., Badger, CA 93603 (driving distance is about 63 miles and it’s about 1 hour and 30 minutes to get there): Enter Hartland Christian Camp into your GPS or Map App. Click HERE for driving directions

Cost: 

$20 per family. The $20 covers the cost of campsite and kitchen rental at the lodge and the pack will provide Dinner on Saturday and Breakfast on Sunday. You are only responsible for the other meals and snacks for your Scout and Family.

What to expect: 

Wortman is at 4,500 feet and wooded with pine and cedars. Temperatures will be 10-15 degrees cooler than the valley floor. There are 17 tent campsites and sites will be given out on a first come first serve basis. These campsites can accommodate multiple tents and we are a big group so sharing is a must. The campground has running water available; however it is advised that every family bring at least 2 gallons of water. There are flush toilets available in the camp area, along with a kitchen and dining hall with a campfire area. The camp is 60 acres and owned by the Sequoia Council of Boy Scouts of America. We will have the entire area to ourselves and it is fenced in, there are trails and a creek running through camp. It is a great spot for the scouts to get out, explore, and enjoy themselves.

 Uniforms:

Class A is requested for traveling to camp and for the opening flag ceremony. Class B uniforms (Any Pack or Cub Scout T-shirt/sweatshirt) may be worn during the campout.

What you will need to bring:

Meals- Saturday lunch and anything special you or your Scout may want. The pack will be cooking dinner for everyone on Saturday Evening (Tentatively Hamburgers / Hot Dogs and chips) and Breakfast on Sunday Morning before everyone packs up (Tentatively Eggs, Bacon, and Pancakes).

We will be having a pack campfire at the main fire ring and Scouts from Troop 400 will be doing a Flag Retirement Ceremony.

Please see the Pack 400 Campout Checklist for  a more complete list suggested items to bring.
