4/24-26 Cub/Parent Weekend at Camp Daniel Boone (Canton NC)

-

 


Camp Daniel Boone
3647 Little East Fork Road
Canton, NC 28716

This is a weekend event that is very similar to Cub Camp weekends at Camp McNeill, but it'll be at Camp Daniel Boone in the western NC mountains. The largest difference is that the weekend is very structured compared to how McNeill does theirs. The Scouts are split into patrols by their den/rank so that they're with others of their same age group throughout Saturday. The patrols move from station to station together on a timed rotation. Every station is covered with an instructor (and typically the instructors are adult leaders rather than troop level scouts). There's a campfire program Saturday evening as well. 

Camp Daniel Boone is a 6 hour drive from Wilmington, so that's something to think through. Friday night will just be arrival and setting up camp so if you arrive later in the evening/night, your Scout won't have missed anything. The programming will be Saturday starting at 12noon through Sunday morning at 10am.

Meals: Saturday dinner and Sunday breakfast are covered by the weekend staff and will not done by our unit. However, we'll have to take care of Saturday breakfast and lunch. 

Costs: $21 per person covering program materials, food, and a patch + $5 per person for Friday night + $10 per person covering Saturday breakfast and lunch = $36 per person attending (Scouts and adults)

Registration: We'll register as a unit (instead of individually like McNeill does it), so please RSVP on our tracking doc and pay via our Square site on/before April 2, 2026. 

Download the weekend guide for a lot more information including the menu for Saturday dinner and Sunday breakfast and a packing list!

Program Schedule: (we'll get there Friday night so disregard 8:30-10 check-in and campsite set up)
