🚨 DISTRICT CAMPOREE: THE LAST OF US ☣️

⚠️ OUTBREAK ALERT ⚠️

The world has changed forever.

A devastating nuclear fallout and a deadly parasitic fungal outbreak have left civilization in ruins. Supplies are limited. The infected are everywhere. The campground has been transformed into a Quarantine Zone (QZ)... and survival is anything but guaranteed.

🏕️ Your patrol is humanity's last hope.

Can your team:
🧭 Navigate the wasteland?
🔥 Build shelter and fire?
🤝 Work together under pressure?
🎒 Use your Scout skills to survive?

Only the patrols that are truly Prepared will make it to Sunday morning.

Gather your gear. Trust your patrol. Prepare for one unforgettable weekend of adventure, teamwork, and survival.

Will your patrol survive... or become part of the infected horde?
