Tri-Town Cub Scout Pack 13 - Chester/Deep River/Essex

10/25/2026

Fantastic Fall Family Campout! Kept it local so folks could squeeze in sports and the area fall festivities in our towns…plus those not quite ready to camp out can still come for as much as they can and sleep at home. Not only did the cubs take a hike through the woods of our host location to tidy up in the fairy village, they looked through a telescope at the full moon and stars, made up games and had a our Den Chief teach them about tinder and kindling with a game of go find the materials - many Pack 13 S’mores eaten and after a chilly night and frosty morning there were pancakes, eggs and cocoa (coffee for the adults) to fuel the pack up time and get ready for the rest of their Sunday!
All possible by our leaders and brave parents!!
