April: More Outdoors Ideas . . .  

• Spring Family Camping is still a thing, and you can sign up for April 17-19 at Bert Adams.  
• Atlanta Streets Alive is back again!  See www.atlantastreetsalive.org  Sunday, April 19 is Peachtree Street!
• You could do the Cub O Ree at Camp Thunder of the Flint River Council April 24 - 26.  Check the Flint River calendar as they add events.
• Look for "Scout Days / Nights" in the activities calendar of the Atlanta Area Council Website for Scout Days with various teams.
• Learn to Swim?  Like at the YMCA. Clayton County Parks offers swim lessons.  So does the Boundary Waters Aquatic Center in Douglas County 
• Or go somewhere on the Great Big List of Places to Go and Things to Do ... Scout out someplace new! 

May: End of Year Party or Event?    

• Maybe a Day Hike or Bike Ride or Bike Rodeo? You can do any of those, and even use those to invite new members to join your unit -- like Kindergarten Families -- and Pre-K Families for next year's Lion Dens! If it's fun for kids, fun for families, and safe, put on some great activities you can use to invite new kids to join and that would be fun for your current kids too. 
• Cub Scout Summer Camp at Bert Adams Scout Camp is a super good time - go as a Pack, go as a Den, go as a parent/child family team.  Details for May 29-31 are here.
• Maybe a Fishing Day? Or Two?  Or More?  Maybe May 9 for the Southern Crescent District Fishing Derby?  Maybe May 16 at Sweetwater Creek State Park (there is an annual Family Fun Day in May sponsored by State Rep. Roger Bruce -- see www.rogerbruce.net/ and https://www.rogerbruce.net/about). 
• The Keeping GA WILD event also usually appears in late May, this year May 16, 2026 at Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center in Mansfield, GA.  "Kids can try archery, fishing, shooting sports, tree climbing and mini-boat rides led by Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ conservation rangers. Live animal presentations, face painting, solar viewing with the Charlie Elliott Astronomy club ... "
• Atlanta Streets Alive is back again.  See www.atlantastreetsalive.org  Sunday, May 31 is West End to Grant Park!
• Perhaps participate in the World Wide Jamboree on the Trail?
• Or go somewhere on the Great Big List of Places to Go and Things to Do ... many destinations will work with Scouts if you call ahead.
