Looking for a new experience for your Scouts? Join us at Camp Cutler for the Challenge Trophy Camporee!

Order Your Challenge Trophy Camporee Patches Today!

The Challenge Trophy Camporee is taking flight October 16-18, 2026 at Camp J. Warren Cutler — and this year’s patches are bringing a whole new level of adventure.

We’re excited to officially reveal the 2026 Challenge Trophy Camporee patch collection, inspired by the dragons and fantasy world of the popular Wings of Fire book series.

Each patch features its own dragon-inspired design, creating a collection Scouts will want to earn, trade, and bring home from the Camporee. Together, the patches help set the stage for a weekend built around adventure, competition, teamwork, and the kind of unforgettable experiences that make a Camporee special.

And, of course, CTC wouldn’t be CTC without patches! Full-weekend participants receive the large CTC main patch along with two subcamp patches—one to keep and one to trade. Day Pass participants receive a Day Pass patch and opportunities to earn additional patches by participating in events throughout Saturday.

Whether you have a favorite dragon design, plan to collect the entire set, or just want to see which patch you’ll come home with, this year’s collection gives Scouts one more reason to be part of the adventure.

The patches have been revealed. Now it’s time to answer the challenge.
