Pack 526 Event

Fall Family Campout

A weekend under the stars for the whole family.

Sweetwater Fall Family Camping 2026

October 23–25, 2026 at Scoutland on Lake Lanier, 3695 Looper Lake Rd, Gainesville, GA 30506 (directions).

Every fall, our council’s Sweetwater District hosts a family campout for Cub Scouts. This year’s theme is Dragon Training:

  • Dragon egg hunt: find the eggs and protect them at all costs!
  • Dragon training: complete tasks to learn how to train different dragons.
  • Crafts and games: make dragon crafts, play games, and make new friends.
  • Campfire stories: legends, laughs, and dragon tales under the stars.

Dens also finish their required outdoor adventures over the weekend.
