Event Information
Join us at Camp Birch on October 16-18 for our BIGGEST Cub Scout event of the year. This event is for Cub Scout age youth in kindergarten through 5th grade. Spook-O-Ree includes a weekend of camping! Don’t want to camp…that’s ok…just come out on Saturday for all the FUN!
Join us for these exciting activities and more: archery, BBs (1st grade and up), giant slingshots, pumpkin patch, maze, crafts, games, haunted trail, climbing tower (for Tecumseh Council Cub Scouts ONLY – requires pre-registration), hayride, fortune teller, and – of course – the SATURDAY NIGHT COSTUME CAMPFIRE DANCE PARTY!! Scout appropriate Halloween costumes may be worn all day.
Spook-O-Ree is all about Cub Scouts and their families experiencing the adventure of camp at their own pace. Except for the climbing tower (which requires pre-registration), all program areas are open throughout the day on Saturday. This allows Cub Scouts and their families to plan their own day and focus their time of activities of interest to their Cub Scouts.
All youth must be accompanied by an adult. No pets, smoking or vaping in camp.
