Calling All Cosmic Adventurers and Future Leaders!
Embark on a summer that’s truly out of this world at Camp Thunderbird, where every day is a new mission in the epic saga of Scouting. As we prepare for the 2025 Summer Camp Staff, we’re searching for passionate and spirited individuals ready to lead the next generation of space explorers and create an unforgettable adventure for Cub Scouts.
Join the Galactic Adventure at Camp Thunderbird!
This summer, blast off to an unforgettable Cub Scout adventure at Camp Thunderbird! Get ready for a week of interstellar fun, cosmic discoveries, and stellar friendships among the stars.
At Camp Thunderbird, you’ll explore the “forest of constellations,” cool off in the “crater lake,” and master new “mission-critical skills” that will prepare you for any challenge. End each day with your fellow Scouts around the “cosmic campfire,” sharing stories under a blanket of stars.
It’s not just a camp—it’s a summer filled with fun, growth, and out-of-this-world experiences that will launch you into the adventure of a lifetime!
