Why Go to Cubworld?


If you're a parent and you are wondering what type of activities Scouting has to offer during the summertime, wonder no more! The National Capital Area Council of Boy Scouts has many summer offerings for you that can be found here.

This Posting is specifically for the Parents and Leaders of Cubs that are Wolves and Bears. Our Council built a Camp, Camp William B. Snyder with your sons in mind. We offer programming that challenges the imaginations of boys, gives them a sense of excitement and adventure, and provides growth opportunities for them in a positive atmosphere. Our hope was that families and Packs would excitedly anticipate attendance at Camp Snyder every year.

By and large, Camp Snyder remains severly under capacity. Last year we served close to 1,600 scouts at Snyder in our overnight camping activities. Currently, we are not on track to match or exceed that number of boys.

Kevin Costner told us, "If you build it, they will come." Yet, you are not coming. It means that there's something missing that will attract you. I'm asking for your help, leaders of Montgomery County, to tell me what you are looking for when selecting summer camping activities. We know that boys join Scouts to go camping and be in the outdoors--it is my goal to expose them to a quality program in a natural setting.

Please post your comments about what it will take to get you to our Camp this summer. I'd love to have some very healthy discussion about this and more topics to come.

Thanks for supporting Scouting!
