Announcement!
We are sorry to report that due to the limited response, the 2021 North Shore District Twilight Camp is cancelled. We are already thinking ahead to 2022 and hope to see you there. Sign ups are still open for other 2021 CAC Day Camps and they are open to all Cub Scouts from any district. Many of the remaining camps are also looking for volunteers so adults are welcome as well.
