Pack 308 Camping

Camp Information

From first campout to seasoned camper, this guide helps Pack 308 families prepare for safe, comfortable, and memorable outdoor adventures.

At Pack 308, camping is an exciting and essential part of the Cub Scout program. Each year, our Cub Scouts may participate in several campouts at locations ranging from local Scouts BSA camps and Florida State Parks to unique destinations such as Lion Country Safari.

Some campgrounds do not allow vehicles at the campsite, so families should be prepared to carry their gear from the parking area. Packing only what can be comfortably carried makes setup and breakdown easier and helps Scouts develop responsibility and self-reliance.

Meals are planned and provided by the Pack. Please keep each family member's dietary restrictions and allergies current in Account Settings so camp registration can carry that information with the attendee.

Camping with Pack 308 is about more than sleeping outdoors. Hiking, nature exploration, campfire programs, games, and Scout activities give families opportunities to build teamwork, confidence, and lasting memories together.
