Get Outside

Colorado Is Our
Backyard.

From the reservoir at Thomas Park to the peaks of the Rockies — Pack 62 scouts spend as much time outdoors as possible. Fresh air, challenge, and wonder are built into every program.

What Outdoor Scouting Looks Like

Pack 62 takes the outdoors seriously. Here's how scouts at every rank build skills, confidence, and a love for Colorado's wild places.

🏕️

Camping

Tent camping at AWC council camps, state parks, and pack-organized overnight trips. Scouts learn fire safety, cooking, shelter, and Leave No Trace.

🎣

Fishing

Annual Youth Fishing Derby at Thomas Reservoir plus fishing skill adventures. Colorado has some of the best fishing in the country.

🥾

Hiking & Trail Skills

Day hikes in the Front Range foothills, nature walks, compass and map navigation, and wildlife identification.

🌊

Aquatics

Water activities at council camps including swimming, kayaking, and canoeing. All aquatics follow BSA Safe Swim Defense.

⛺

Winter Camping

Pack 62 doesn't put away the tents when it gets cold. Winter camping builds resilience and teaches scouts to layer up and adapt.

🌱

Leave No Trace

Every Pack 62 outdoor activity includes Leave No Trace principles. We pack out what we pack in and leave every site better than we found it.

Conservation & Stewardship

Pack 62 scouts are stewards of the land. Beyond camping, our outdoor program includes conservation service projects — trail maintenance, park cleanups, and habitat restoration — that connect scouts to the places they love to explore.

  • Fall cleanup at New Hope Fellowship (annual)
  • Trail work with Colorado Parks & Wildlife
  • Litter cleanup at Thomas Reservoir and Erie parks
