The Cherokee District is comprised of four full counties and parts of two other counties: Dunklin, Pemiscot, Mississippi, New Madrid and parts of Scott and Stoddard.
Our units provide program to over 590 youth. The Cherokee District’s goal is to expand our numbers to ensure that every young person within our district has the opportunity to experience Scouting.
Cub Scout overnight camps – Webelos Camp, Arrow of light Camp, and Cub Adventure Camp are great opportunities for your Scouts to start out the year with a few Adventures/Advancements well underway and completed, while having a super fun time at camp!
Family Camps are opportunities for Scouts to spend a day and a night, over a weekend, at one of our properties, sharing the fun of the outdoors with mom, dad, and Cub Scout-aged siblings! In addition to Family Camp, we have Dad and Lad Camp in April, and Mom and Me camp in September.
Summer Camps are in June and July, at Camp May (Beaumont), Warren Levis, Pine Ridge, and Lewallen.
Each year, our Camping Committee puts on a Winter Klondike to test scouts’ abilities in a fun, competitive atmosphere
