Cub Scout Adventure Camp 2026

TRAVELING AMERICA!

This fun-filled event will be your best Cub Camping adventure along the banks of the Salt Fork River. Travel into the outdoor thrills at Camp Drake for the 2026 Cub Scout Adventure Camp.

Campers will journey through the program areas in search of action, advancement, and knowledge that we can learn only from the facilities and programs offered at Camp Drake. As an Adventure Camper, Cub Scouts will join in our festive songs and entertainment at mealtimes and participate in games and skits in the evenings.

Please keep in mind that the youth eligible to go this summer are the Scouts who will graduate into the FIRST, second, third, fourth or fifth grades at the end of this school year in May. Bring this information to the attention of your current Lion, Tiger, Wolf, Bear, and Fourth Grade Webelos leaders and parents.

The Prairielands Council provides Cub Scouts, parents, and their leaders with a safe, educational, and fun-filled camping experience.

This guidebook will provide information for your pack to enjoy Cub Scout Adventure Camp.
