Calling All Adventure Enthusiasts and Leaders!
Embark on a summer like no other at Camp Thunderbird, where every day is a new chapter in the grand saga of Scouting. As we gear up for the 2025 Summer Camp Staff, we invite passionate and spirited individuals to join us in creating an unforgettable experience for Cub Scouts.
Join the Adventure at Camp Thunderbird!
This summer, Camp Thunderbird invites you to experience the ultimate Cub Scout adventure! Get ready for an unforgettable week of outdoor fun, skill-building, and friendship in the heart of nature.
At Camp Thunderbird, you’ll discover all the best parts of summer camp—hiking through our beautiful forest, swimming in the refreshing lake, learning new outdoor skills, and building memories with friends around the campfire.
It’s not just a camp—it’s a summer full of fun, growth, and unforgettable experiences!
This summer camp is open to any registered Cub Scout who will be entering the 1st grade (Tiger) through 5th grade (Arrow of Light) in the Fall of 2025

Only authorized service vehicles will be permitted past the gates,
Your unit will have scheduled campsite pack up times. Please do not let campsite pack up time make you late or miss camp events.
Your unit will stage their belongings at a designated location in the campsite. Your staff guide will approve your campsite is clean and your unit is ready to leave camp.
You may then proceed to the parking lot and meet a camp commissioner (or other available camp staff member) for your check-out packet. A great chance for a picture at our Thunderbird sign!
Your unit members may then load up their vehicles and safely leave camp.
All visitors MUST check-in and check-out at the camp office.
Any part-time adults must check-in at the camp office WITH the adult they are replacing who will check-out.
If a youth or adult need to leave camp for any reason, they must check-out at the camp office. Any adults picking up youth will be verified with the Authorized to Take Scouts To and From Events section of the Health and Medical Form. Please ensure you fill this out prior to camp.
The duty of supervision falls on the unit and the adults of that unit.
Every youth and adult must bring their complete uniform for flags and meals.
Some units have different expectations for uniform etiquette so please follow your home unit’s standards.
All clothing (including at the waterfront) must be appropriate. Any images or wording that do not align with the Scouting ideals are not appropriate. We recommend clothing that prioritizes fit and function over fashion.
Every participant must wear closed foot footwear. This means that any part of the foot inside the shoe should not be visible. We recommend watershoes/watersocks at the waterfront.
