Fall Camporee at Pine Ridge

Celebrate the season with adventure, competition, and Scout spirit

As the leaves turn and the air cools, Scouts gather once again at Pine Ridge for our Southern Illinois Fall Camporee—a tradition that blends outdoor challenge with the excitement of a new Scouting year. This event brings together troops from across the region for a weekend of skill‑based competitions, themed activities, and good old‑fashioned Scout fun.

Patrols will take on a variety of stations that test their preparedness, teamwork, and ingenuity. From wilderness survival and navigation to problem‑solving scenarios and physical challenges, the Fall Camporee is designed to push Scouts to think, lead, and work together.

The weekend also features campfire fellowship, inter‑troop activities, and opportunities for Scouts to meet new friends and reconnect with old ones. It’s a celebration of everything Scouting stands for—leadership, adventure, and community—set against the backdrop of a beautiful Southern Illinois autumn.

Open to all Scouts BSA troops across the region.
