Every Cub Scout will want to explore the Tuckahoe Cub World – a place where imagination and adventure come to life! We conduct most of our Cub Scout programs in this fantastic setting and, to add to the attraction, we invite visiting units to schedule an overnight outpost in one of the sleeping facilities. We will do our best to accommodate all requests for specific sites, but due to the popularity of this program we encourage you to make your reservations early!
FRONTIER FORT:
Your Scouts will love exploring the walls and towers of our fort as they imagine themselves living life on the prairie. This year-round cabin can accommodate up to 40 Scouts and leaders, and includes a kitchen, woodstove, indoor rest rooms, and showers to make your stay more comfortable.
TEEPEE VILLAGE:
Your Scouts will enjoy learning about the diverse cultures of America’s first inhabitants in the midst of our Teepee Village. Each of our four teepees has nine mattresses for the comfort of overnight guests.
MOUNTAINTOP MINE:
The cool, dark interior of our mountaintop mine provides welcome relief from the summer’s heat. Brave Scouts will explore the mine in darkness before emerging on the other side.
MEDIEVAL CASTLE:
Our castle calls to mind the distant days of kings, queens, & knights of the Age of Chivalry. Scouts who scale its stonework walls will no doubt imagine raising the drawbridge & flooding the moat to ward off barbarian hordes. Behind the walls they’ll remain safe in a year-round sleeping lodge, complete with 40 bunks, rest rooms, showers, a woodstove, & kitchen.
PIRATE SHIP:
No tour of Cub World would be complete without stowing away aboard our Pirate Ship for a taste of some swashbuckling fantasy! Scouts will man the sails, swarm the deck, & take a turn at the Captain’s Wheel while exploring the New World in their imaginations. The lower deck contains 20 beds for overnight visitors – unless they prefer to spend the night stargazing on deck!
BB AND ARCHERY RANGES:
Every Scout can imagine himself a sharpshooter when he visits one of our Shooting Ranges! Scouts will learn to safely shoot while practicing under the watchful eyes of our trained staff. A slingshot range is also available for an extra challenge.
NATURE TREE HOUSE:
This three-story observation deck rises around some of Tuckahoe’s tallest trees, and here a Scout will be able to immerse himself in the wonders that surround him. Plants, insects, reptiles, birds – nothing will escape the observant eye!
CUB WORLD ATHLETIC FIELD:
Cub Scouts seem to have boundless energy, and our activity field gives them a great place to run and play.
CUB WORLD PAVILION:
This pavilion contains enough seating for any large gathering, making it the perfect place to meet and make new friends.
