“Cub Scouts Recruits’ First Overnight Camp”
On the weekend of May 16 and 17, 2026, the 11th Corozal Mary Hill Cub Scouts embarked on an exciting journey by participating in their first overnight camp at the Mary Hill School grounds. This camp was an essential step in fulfilling the requirements for their upcoming investiture as Cub Scouts. The event was expertly organized by Venture Scout Dylian Gongora, who is working towards achieving the Venture Scout Award.
Cub Scouts are young individuals aged 7 to 11 who harness their curiosity about the world. During their time in Cub Scouts, they engage in numerous enjoyable activities—going on adventures, making friends, learning new skills, exploring new experiences, helping others, and contributing positively to their communities.
The Cubs meet every week in a group known as a Cub Pack, where they participate in activities in small color-coded groups of six. While the specific activities may differ, the Cubs are always encouraged to set goals and work collaboratively, ensuring that they not only learn but also enjoy themselves in the process.
This camp provided the new Cub Scouts with a wonderful opportunity to acclimate to sleeping away from home as they began working toward their Camper Badge. Additionally, this weekend marked an important transition for our group, allowing us to honor the achievements of the older Cubs as they moved on to the Scout Unit, while also welcoming our new Beavers into the Scouting family.
Throughout the camp, the pack engaged in a variety of fun and interactive activities that highlighted key values such as teamwork, creativity, active listening, and leadership. These experiences laid a strong foundation as we confidently prepare for the official investiture of our new members, ensuring they are well-equipped for their journey ahead.
