Spring is upon us, and that means it’s time to dust off those tents and get those sleeping bags out of the closet.
The 2025 Keystone Capital District Spring Camporee is set to take place at Indian Echo Caverns at 368 Middletown Road in Hummelstown from April 25th to 27th, and it promises to be an unforgettable experience for all Scouts involved.
This year’s camporee offers a perfect blend of challenging and fun activities that will engage Scouts of all ages. Participants will navigate through a series of stations designed to test their skills, teamwork, and resourcefulness.
One of the highlights of the camporee will undoubtedly be the exclusive tour of the Indian Echo Caverns. This natural wonder, with its stunning formations and rich history, provides a unique learning opportunity for Scouts, allowing them to explore the beauty of the underground world while gaining insights into geology.
In addition to the exciting activities and cavern tour included with every registration, the Spring Camporee will also feature the traditional Order of the Arrow (OA) call-out ceremony. This solemn and revered event recognizes Scouts who have been elected by their peers as those who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives. It is a moment of honor and pride for both the inductees and their troops.
Members of the Order of Arrow should pack their sashes for an Arrowmen-only gathering.
Registration fees are $32 for Scouts, $30 for Webelos for the day only, $17.50 for troop adults, and just $5 for event volunteers. Late fees after April 10, 2025.
