Cub O’Ree

Cub O’Ree (the district calls it Cuboree) is Pack 214’s fall family campout and our first campout of the Scouting year. The whole Pack camps together at the Etowah District’s weekend, alongside other packs from our area. Scouts try camp activities, families learn to camp together, and there’s a campfire on Friday and Saturday nights. It’s a great first campout for new families.

WhatDetails
Next Cub O’ReeCub O’Ree 2026 was October 23 to 25. We’ll post next year’s date here and in Cubby Notes once the district sets it.
Signing upFamilies sign up through the Pack, not with the district. We announce sign-ups in Cubby Notes in early fall.
MealsThe Pack provides breakfast, lunch, and dinner on Saturday, and breakfast on Sunday. Eat dinner before you arrive on Friday, or bring a simple one, like sandwiches.
TentsBring your own tent. The campsites don’t have tent platforms, so you’ll sleep on the ground.

How the weekend goes

DayWhat happens
FridayArrive after check-in opens in the late afternoon. It gets dark before 7 PM in late October, so coming early makes setting up much easier. Pull up to the Pack’s campsite, unload your gear, move your car to the parking area we point you to (there’s no parking at the campsite), then set up your tent. You don’t need to wear a uniform on Friday. The Pack has a campfire with s’mores that evening.
SaturdayScouts wear their Pack t-shirt during the day. Groups rotate through activities run by trained camp staff, like archery, BB guns, slingshots, climbing, and fishing. Lunch is at our campsite, and the camp’s trading post sells snacks and Scouting items. After dinner, Scouts change into their Class A uniform shirt for the camp-wide campfire, where every pack shares a skit or song.
SundayBreakfast, then everyone packs up, cleans our campsite, and helps with the cleaning job the camp gives our Pack. The Pack heads home together when cleanup is done, usually around 10 AM.

Lions (kindergarten) can do archery and slingshots, but Scouting America’s age guidelines don’t allow BB guns for Lions.

Who can come

The whole family

Scouts, parents or guardians, and brothers and sisters are welcome. Everyone who comes must be at least 5 years old.

Who sleeps where

A Scout sleeps only in a tent with their own parent or legal guardian. Brothers and sisters can share that tent.

Other adults

Bringing a grandparent or another adult who isn’t a parent or guardian? They need their own tent, and Scouting America has extra requirements for them. Email [email protected] well before the weekend so we can help.

Camp rules for families

  • This isn’t a drop-off event. A parent or guardian stays with their Scout the whole weekend. If you leave camp, even for a short time, take your Scout and their brothers and sisters with you.
  • Tents are family space. Scouts don’t go into other families’ tents, and they don’t invite friends into theirs. Play happens out in the campsite.
  • Use the buddy system. Scouts never leave our campsite without a buddy, and their parent always knows where they are.
  • Stay out of other campsites. No going into other packs’ campsites, and no battles or games against other packs.
  • Drive slowly (the camp limit is 10 MPH) and park only where the camp says.
  • Arriving late or leaving for part of Saturday is fine. Let a Pack leader know. The camp gate is closed during activities, so check the Pack’s email for when it’s open.
  • Sunday morning: plan to stay until the campsite is cleaned up. The camp may keep its gate closed until cleanup is done. If you have to leave early, talk to a Pack leader first.

Restrooms, running, and the rest of our rules for every campout are on the Camping Packing List page.

What to bring

Use our camping packing list, which you can print and check off. Bring your own tent, and tell us about any food allergies ahead of time at [email protected] if you didn’t list them on the sign-up form.

Medical forms for everyone who comes

Every person at Cub O’Ree, including parents and brothers and sisters, needs a Scouting America medical form (Parts A and B) and a copy of their insurance card. Turn them in at the Pack table at any den or pack meeting before Cub O’Ree begins. If you already turned one in this year, you’re all set. No one can take part without a medical form. Every adult who comes also needs current Safeguarding Youth Training at my.scouting.org. You don’t need to send us proof. The event sign-up form asks for your training’s expiration date, which you’ll find in your my.scouting.org account. Get the medical forms and instructions.
