What is Cub Scout Camping? Northern Star Council is the premier Cub Scout Council in delivering the outdoor program to youth ages 6 - 10 for the purpose of developing self-confidence, leadership, citizenship as well as an understanding and appreciation of the outdoors. The Northern Star Council offers both staffed and pack led programs at eight camp properties encompassing over 10,000 acres in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Camping has long been a tradition of Scouting’s history. It has survived because of its importance to the Scouting program. It adds a dimension to a youth's Scouting experience not easily found in other settings. Northern Star Council has worked to provide the facilities and programs to meet the needs and desires of the council’s Scouters. They have established a variety of programs in different locations to make them easily accessible. Northern Star’s camping programs are also leaders in the nation in regards to program ideas and attendance.
