Learn about your respective Religious Emblems and come meet ministers of many different faiths, all while having FUN as you meet fellow Scouts and Venturers.

There will be morning Orienteering Courses to discover how your faith relates to you as a Scout/Venturer, as well as afternoon activities to include shooting sports, archery, aquatic paddling, climbing, a fishing derby and so much more!

We ask that each Pack/Troop/Crew/Ship pre-register by Tuesday, January 21, 2025, so that we can be better prepared for your arrival. Registration will close on Wednesday, January 22, 2025.
