9 The Story Line Deep in the wilds of Benton County on the Tennessee River is the training camp for ALL Cub Scouts. Camp Mack Morris is the home of the Scout Camp gods, the trainers of Cub and Boy Scouts from Tigers to Eagles. The Camp gods are mad. Zeus (Camp Director) has guarded the Arrow of Light for generations. As a protector of the highest level of Cub Scouting, he is extremely upset because the Arrow of Light has been stolen. One of the Camp gods wants the power all to themselves. All Cub Scouts must unite and help find it. The QUEST is yours to accept and conquer. Join us the Summer of 2018 to return the power to the rightful protector. Are you ready to accept your training? Come find the clues, meet the Camp gods, and let YOUR journey begin.
