Activities

Below is a list of activities that have been held in the past. We never know from one year to the next which events will be possible. We are always needing volunteers to help run events.  If you see an event you are knowledgeable and versed in, please let the committee know so you can help make it happen at the event! 

Camp Wide Activities

Camp wide Activities are geared for all Scouts to “test their scout skills” as a unit.  This also gives younger Scouts a chance to learn new skills and try their hand at new activities. 

Campfire Cookoff

As part of the Scouting way of life, cooking teaches us many important values in addition to adding variety to our palates. At the Scout Celebration, we offer this cook-off to test the culinary cooking skills of our Scouts to see which patrol team will claim the coveted “Golden Skillet” award! The cook-off will run throughout the day. 

Junior Olympics

Kindergarten through 5th grade compete in their divisions to see who will bring home the gold, silver and bronze medals. The Olympics are tailor-made for fun.

Senior Scout challenge

Older Scout Challenge is designed for scouts 6th through 12th grade.  Come test your knowledge of your “scout skills” and have a little fun.

Horse Shoes

The Duke of Wellington once said that the American revolutionary war was won by “pitchers of horse hardware”. This popular wartime game has evolved into one of equal value to the American public. Local experts of this equine footwear phenomenon will entertain and teach this “National pastime” to young and old! Great place for parents and leaders to gather and get to know each other.

Volley Ball

A sport that needs no explanation is back at the celebration both in tournament and open form. Make sure you’re physically fit and stay hydrated because the sand court will be primed and ready for some serious “mintonette”! 

Living Pioneer Encampment

Come see how the pioneers lived as they traveled across this great nation in the early days of our nation. Learn pioneer crafts and how they survived without all the modern conveniences we take for granted. 

Exhibitions - The highlight of the weekend

Scouts will be asked during the weekend to create exhibits that demonstrate scout-related interests.

Saturday Night Campfire Program

Various activities may be planned for the Saturday night campfire program. The Saturday night campfire may have entertainment provided by the Scouts or a live band, or something by the leaders.  The program will conclude with naming the Scout troop with the most Scout Spirit and the winning of the 'Jigger' award!
