What is Day Camp in a Day?
Cub Scout Day Camp in a Day is a 1-day outdoor experience under the supervision of specially trained volunteers. The Camp Director and the Camp Program Director have attended the BSA National Camping School and have completed certification standards set forth by the BSA National office. Additionally, the BB gun and Archery range officers receive Cub Scout Shooting Sports training and certification.
The Southeast Louisiana Council takes pride in assuring that our Day Camp meets the requirements for national accreditation. The National Standards are established to ensure the health and safety of every camper, leader, staff, and visitor while at camp and to ensure that every Cub Scout will have a high quality, fun filled, Day Camp experience. Besides the FUN each Scout will have, they will learn skills that will help them throughout their Scouting career and beyond. They will meet other Cub Scouts and Leaders from around the Council, and as with any other aspect of the Scouting program, it will help to instill in them the values and character they will need to become the kind of individuals we want them to be.

Who is Day Camp For?
Camp is open to children who have completed kindergarten through children going into the fifth grade and are registered in the Boy Scouts of America. If your child is not yet signed up for Cub Scouts, they must join before attending camp.
Children finishing Kindergarten will come to Camp as Tiger Cubs and must have an Adult (over 21) Partner with them at all times. Children who have completed the first grade and who were Tiger Cubs during the school year will come to Day Camp as Wolf Cubs. Children that have completed second grade will be in a Bear den. Children that have completed third grade will be in a Webelos den and children going into fifth grade will be in an Arrow of Light den.
The Cubs will not be in mixed rank groups because our program areas are geared to the different rank levels. For example, Webelos will be working on more advanced projects than the Wolves.

Cub Scouts are considered registered for camp when registration has been completed online and fees are paid in full on or before the deadline dates listed below.
$30 – Early Bird (registering by the early bird date for your camp guarantees your camp t-shirt will be available at the start of camp)
$30 – when paid after early bird cutoff and until registration close date
$15 – for additional t-shirt
Camp fees include one camp T-shirt, a patch and all camp activity supplies.
Packs who register new Scouts after the early bird deadline may register them at the $30 early bird fee instead of paying the late fee.
Registration will close two weeks prior to camp. You must contact the Camp Director to see if it is possible to register additional Scouts after that point. NO SCOUTS WILL BE ALLOWED TO REGISTER AT DAY CAMP!
Register online below. Registration can be done by individual parents; however, it is much easier if done by one adult for the entire group attending from the Pack.
