The Last Campfire

The Last Campfire: July 11, 2026

After 98 years of summer programming, Tunnel Mill Scout Reservation hosted its final campfire. It was an excellent conclusion to the 2026 Cub Scout Summer Camp. With great weather, reasonable temperatures, and high spirits, the mission to close out an incredible week was met with true gusto.

The evening highlighted a wonderful array of Pack and Staff skits, wrapping up with a beautiful and solemn American Flag Retirement ceremony.
