Troop 77 will join Scouts BSA units from across the Hightower Trail and Soapstone Ridge districts for a weekend of camping fun, fellowship, and friendly unit and patrol competition. The Hightower Trail/Soapstone Ridge Camporee will continue the tradition of programming excellence, high quality activities, camaraderie, and FUN on March 20-22, 2026 at Camp Jamison at Bert Adams Scout Camp. One of the underlying objectives of this event is to offer a program that is both fun and challenging and provides a learning experience for all involved. The Camporee theme this year is the Semiquincentennial – USA’s 250th Birthday. Join us to celebrate the Declaration of Independence, the Revolutionary War, and the founding of our country.
