Celebrating the Adventure ~ Continuing the Journey

Join 5,000 of your fellow Three Fires Council Scouts & Scouters as they celebrate the 100th anniversary of Scouting at Camporall. Camporall is an entire weekend of camping at St James Farm. This event is being held in conjunction with Scout-O-Rama. Scout-O-Rama is an entire day of Scouting activities, displays, games and FUN designed for Scouts of all ages, parents, siblings, and the general public to CELEBRATE, PARTICIPATE, and EXPERIENCE Scouting at its best in the Three Fires Council.

Camporall is open to all registered Three Fires Council Scouts, their units and their leaders; Cub Scout Packs, Boy Scout Troops and Venture Crews (NO FAMILY CAMPING!). ONLINE REGISTRATION has begun. We are limited to 5,000 campers at St. James Farm and therefore, we ask that one person from each unit do the registrations. We are are unable to accommodate siblings or other non-Scout youth. Registration will be open to other Councils wishing to participate in Camporall starting on March 1st. Use the Scout-O-Rama/Camporall Guide to assist you with your planning!

To learn more, click on the Camporall or Scout-O-Rama page links.
The online registration has begun & slots are going fast.
