📣 Huge shoutout to Just-Us Dumping! 📣

Last weekend, Scouters came together to declutter the area behind our dining hall and create space for an additional classroom at camp. We needed a dumpster quickly, and Collin with Just Us Dumping absolutely delivered!

Even while on vacation with his family, Collin arranged to have a dumpster on-site within 30 minutes of our call. That level of customer service is hard to find, and we are incredibly grateful for his willingness to help.

Thank you, Collin and the team at Just Us Dumping, for your top-notch service and for helping us make Camp Preston Hunt an even more beautiful place for our Scouts and leaders. Your support made a big difference!

🌟 What an Incredible Week at Cub Scout Summer Camp 2026! 🌟

The adventure was nonstop at Camp Preston Hunt as Cub Scouts from across the area came together for a week full of fun, friendship, and unforgettable memories!

🎣 Fishing
🥾 Hiking
🏹 Range and target activities
🧗 Rock wall climbing
🎨 Crafts
🔬 STEM stations
🎭 Skits and campfire programs

💦 Bounce house water slide fun

But summer camp is about more than just having fun. Our Scouts also lived the Scout Oath and Law by giving back through service projects, including cleaning out a storage room and improving the area behind the dining hall.

From learning new skills and making new friends to creating lifelong memories, Camp Preston Hunt Summer Camp 2026 was a tremendous success! Thank you to our Scouts, leaders, volunteers, and staff who made this week possible.
