Camp the Weekend. Build What Everyone Comes to See.
Troops, Crews, Ships and Packs camp the fairgrounds Friday evening through Sunday morning, October 9 to 11, and host the exhibits the public comes to see on Saturday.
Jamboree-style camping, Friday 5 p.m. through Sunday 10 a.m. $25 per person.
Open to Troops, Crews, Ships and Packs. One registration per unit.
Cub Scouts camp separately from Scouts BSA, and every camping Cub Scout needs a parent or guardian present at all times.
Units cook their own food and work in patrols to keep the grounds clean.
Build an exhibit that shows off your unit. Prizes for the best ones.
Every camper gets an event patch and a Passport for the activities along the Path.
