A Virtual Camporee

We are really starting to plan some great ideas for our Virtual Camporee. Set Saturday, May 16th, 2020 aside to participate in this one of a kind event. This event will be open to all Scouting programs, Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, Venturing, Sea Scouts, and even Exploring. We know that some units are doing some great things with virtual or online Scouting. So, we would love to hear your ideas and have you share or host a program during the Camporee.

Virtual Resources

Scouting can continue while we are all spending extra time at home. Here are several websites that will help you develop programs and find resources that can keep youth of all ages engaged. Some of these programs are great for school work as well.

What better way to be prepared for the return of your Scouting program than to complete some online training.
