Capital Service Area Spring Camporee 2026

MISSION TO MARS!

Are you ready to become one of the very first astronauts to step foot on Mars? Before we can clear you to head off into the great unknown you must go through rigorous training and graduate from the Space Academy. Our most senior Cadets will even be able to participate in our rigorous training course, the Adventure Race! The 2026 Capital Service Area Spring Camporee focuses on scouts becoming competent astronauts and patrols becoming efficient space crews. Cadet teams will work with Ground Control to complete tasks and navigate challenges that may arise once on Mars.
