An overnight pack camping fun-for-all at our own Camp Sol R. Crown in Trevor, Wisconsin!  Or come out for the day.

What’s going on?  Lots of scouting skills like fire building, tent setting, and knot tying.  Archery, BB guns, scale the Climbing Wall!  Learn about nature and “the APP for that.”  There will be water rockets, handicrafts, and games of skill and daring. Cross a rope bridge!  Red hot branding! Try your high-speed driving skills with Radio-Controlled cars.  

Saturday night, you’ll be entertained at a fabulous campfire, followed by an awesome Cracker Barrel snack time.  You won’t see satellites flying overhead, but you find your way with a “Global Positioning System” on your phone and hunt for Geocaches to solve a scouting puzzle. 

The Leader's Guide is now published and available! 

If you would like to come for the day, click the "Register Here" link on this page. To camp overnight for Friday or Saturday night, work with your Packs to reserve a campsite through the standard Camp Crown campsite reservation process.

Packs are responsible for meal planning for their units and food preparation in their campsite. An optional lunch will be available at the Jadel Center for those who wish at $5.00 per meal, or if you prefer, pack your own snacks and drinks if you are only planning to spend the day.

Friday, May 5, 2023 - Unit Check-in & Set up Campsites
Saturday, May 6, 2023 - All-day Camporee activities with evening Campfire

Boo Camp mixes Halloween fun with Scouting adventure.  Cub Scouts and their families, Dens, or Packs can enjoy a tractor hayride, climb, cross a rope bridge, play fun games, shoot archery or BB guns, and much more.  All of these activities are included with your registration! Boo Camp is also a great opportunity to get information on upcoming events, meet other Packs and Scouts BSA Troops, and simply enjoy time outdoors!

Adult Supervision: Boo Camp is not a drop-off program. Youth should be supervised by a parent or adult leader at all times.  Parents are encouraged to attend with their children. As per BSA rules, Lions (Kindergartners) and Tigers (First Graders) must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Pack or Dens that are attending Boo Camp together as a group should ensure they have adequate leadership to supervise their Scouts (we recommend at minimum a 1:4 ratio of adults to youth).

Cost:
