2026 Advancement Campout

Calling all Troop and Crew 5!

Come join us for the Advancement Campout and Porkies Trek Shakedown!  A Troop/Crew 5 favorite where Scouts learn new skills like axe safety and knots and generally have a great time.  Always a fun campout!

Patrol leaders – Coordinate with your patrol to get them to sign up and select a grubmaster.  We need accurate counts to plan properly for the campouts!  The signup will be open until Sunday, April 19.

Drivers always needed!  If you will drive, please select “Adult Camper – RSVP” and you can provide information about how may people you can transport.  Adults and youth must have up-to-date health forms part A and B for this campout.  In addition, all adults wishing to camp must have completed a current Safeguarding Youth Training (SYT).  This can take up to a week to complete so please start ASAP if you are not up-to-date.  If you are interested in being the Lead Assistant Scout Master (ASM) or the Committee Grubmaster for this campout, please make a note in the memo field.
