Camps
Pack Campouts
Pack 843 typically has two campouts during the school year; one in the fall and one in the spring. Campouts are 1 night with a full Saturday of activities. The campout is an opportunity for Scouts to get out into the outdoors. During the campouts, the scouts have a chance to work with their Dens on outdoor advancement requirements, hike, fish, shoot BBs, archery, creeking, learn camp skills, campfire skits and songs, and eat a s'more or two.
The entire family is invited to Pack campouts. Meals are provided for the Scouts and their family. Scouts and familes can come to the entire duration or as their schedules allow. Scouts bring their own personal camping equipment: tent, sleeping bags, flashlights, bug spray.
Our campouts are typically held at Camp Lazarus on Rt 23 south of Delaware, Ohio.
BSA regulations require that 1 parent or legal gaurdian be with their Scouts while they are on camp.
Summer Camps
Polaris District Day Camp
Each summer, Packs from around the area come together for a week-long day camp. The Day Camp staff sets a theme and a program to match. Activities included classic summer Scouting activities like fishing, sling shots, archery, swimming and creeking but also have activites to reflect the theme like rocketry, STEM stations. Pack 843 usually sends a large contingent from our Pack. Scouts are grouped with their Pack. If this sounds like fun to you adults, there are opportunities to volunteer for a day or the week to make this action-packed week a reality!
Day Camp in open to Tiger - AOL level Scouts. Tiger level Scouts require a adult chaporone for the week.

Scouts attend the overnight camp Monday - Thursday and participate with their Pack in various scouting activities. This is a perfect opportunity for Scouts to begin to experience scouting at the Scout BSA level.
