The Skylands District held its Fall Cub Family Camporee the weekend of October 6-8, at Winnebago Scout Reservation. This year’s theme was “Carnival Camporee” with carnival themed activities, including parachute fun, balloon inflation and flying, rubber duck fishing, craft making, special circus themed bb target shooting, and a cub-aged team building activity. The ongoing weekend liquid sunshine did not dampen the spirits of the five hundred youth and adults that participated in the fun.

Special thanks to the camporee committee for planning and executing the camporee, including Katherine and Steven Smith, and Patty Poland. Thanks also to the many Scouts and unit leaders from troops that helped run stations at the camporee. We look forward to our 2024 Spring Cub Camporee, scheduled for the weekend of May 17-19, at Mt. Allamuchy Scout Reservation, Camp Somers.
