Mother-Son Campout
Hey Mom! This is a great opportunity to see what your scout(s) have learned and experience what they do during a campout.
Please note: this is not a ‘drop-off’ campout – Scouts will ride with their parent to and from the campsite in Naperville.
Moms should plan to sleep in their own tent, but expect their Scout to set it up. The boys will prepare dinner Saturday night, and a quick breakfast will be provided Sunday morning following pack-up.
