Camping
Organized camping is a creative, educational experience in cooperative group living in the outdoors. It uses the natural surroundings to contribute significantly to physical, mental and social growth. Our campers will develop self-reliance and resourcefulness and camping at the Cub Scout level introduces boys to the knowledge and skills that they will learn and apply more thoroughly as a Boy Scout.

Moss Park
12901 Moss Park Rd, Orlando FL 32832
Phone: 407-254-6840
The largest of Orange County's parks (1,551 acres), Moss Park is an oasis of nature well secluded from the encroaching development of houses and strip malls in the area. Natural Florida is at its best in the park, with plenty of heron, rabbits, and other family-friendly critters in plain view. Most are more than at ease with humans, so much so that they walk right up to picnic tables to "sample" unprotected food. Large trees - appropriately covered in moss - canvas the park, providing shade at almost every turn. An extremely popular destination for family reunions and informal company cookouts, the park offers plenty of covered pavilions with large barbeque grills and picnic areas that can be rented for parties and special events. Pavilions closest to the entrance are best bets when bringing the kids, since they're close to the largest of two playgrounds, the beach, and the most popular fishing areas. Activity wise, the sand beach and designated swimming area (no life guard on duty) of Lake Mary Jane are popular with families. A sand volleyball court and hiking trail round out park offerings. All camp sites come equipped with water and electricty, and the restrooms scattered throughout the park are well-kept, if a little dark inside. more...
