Robotics, science experiments, rock climbing, bb and archery — these are just a few of the activities grade school age boys will be able to try as part of the new, innovative eight week Cub Scout Adventure Clinic.
Modeled after typical sports clinics, the Adventure Clinic provides a taste of the best Scouting has to offer during an action packed eight-week program. The Adventure Clinic gives families a chance to learn about and experience Cub Scouts before making the commitment to join a Cub Scout unit in their community.
The Adventure Clinic will be offered in Burlington and Camden Counties. In Camden the Adventure Clinic will be held Monday evenings from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Haddonfield Masonic Temple located at 16 Kings Highway East in Haddonfield.
The Adventure Clinic will run from April 13 to June 8 and is open to all boys in kindergarten through fifth grade, who are not currently registered in Cub Scouts. The program meets one night a week for eight weeks, and includes two weekend activities, a rock climbing experience at Elite Climbing and a day at Pine Hill Scout Reservation. Space is limited to 40 boys. The cost is $85, which includes all materials and supplies.
The Adventure Clinic is the first program of its kind in Scouting. The concept was developed by the Garden State Council, Boy Scouts of America as a way to introduce more families in South Jersey to Scouting.
“We’re thrilled be offering this program for the young people of South Jersey. The Adventure Clinic promises the most exciting eight weeks anyone can have this spring. I wish I could sign up myself!” said Ed Lynes who serves as Vice President of Marketing and Membership at the Garden State Council.
