April 16 - 18, 2021

Camp James Ray

3/1/21 UPDATE: Saturday lunch will NOT be provided by the district. All units should plan to provide all of their own meals for the weekend. 

The 2021 Eagle Trail District Spring Campout is an outdoor camping event designed for all Eagle Trail District units, including Cub Scout Packs and Scouts BSA Troops.  Venturing Crews are invited to help staff this event but may also attend as a participating unit. 

This event differs from traditional Scouts BSA Camporee events in that troop / patrol competitions will not take place. Instead, this will be an opportunity for Scouts to camp with their unit and focus on rank advancement requirements, activity badges (Cub Scouts & Webelos), merit badges (Scouts BSA) or other outdoor instruction and activities.  Some district and unit activities will also be available.

This event will also provide an opportunity for all units to recruit new members as non-Scouts may be invited to attend and camp. 

Cub Scout Packs will not want to miss this event which is the perfect opportunity to:

• Work on rank requirements
• Complete annual swim checks 
• Spend time in the outdoors camping for the weekend

Scouts BSA Troops will want to attend this event so they can:

• Participate in an outdoor camping program, which has not been available since early March 
• Provide Scouts with the opportunity to work on rank advancement, merit badges or other scout skills
• Find out the results of their unit's Order of the Arrow elections
• Have fun!

Planned activities include:

• Shooting sports (archery, BB guns, rifle and shotgun)
• Swim Checks
• Open Swim
• Campfire program
• Build-It, Bring-It: Go-Karts
• Adult Training 
• Unit time to focus on advancement, badges, skills or just camping!

Event registration is $15.00 per person, (if paid before April 9, 2021) which covers all activities for this event; camping is available at no additional charge. Registrations paid after April 9, 2021 will be $20.00.
