🏕️ Great Scouting adventures start with trained leaders!

Join us at Camp McKee September 19–20 for a weekend of hands-on learning, outdoor fun, and fellowship with other Scouting leaders!

Whether you need IOLS or BALOO, this isn’t training where you’ll spend the whole weekend sitting in a classroom. You’ll be outside, learning by doing, sharing ideas, practicing skills, and probably having a few laughs along the way!

⚜️ Having trained leaders within our Packs and Troops is an important part of providing a safe, fun, and quality Scouting program for our youth. The more confident our leaders are, the better the experience we can give our Scouts.

Come spend the weekend at Camp McKee, sharpen your outdoor skills, meet other leaders, and have some fun while getting trained!

📅 September 19–20, 2026
📍 Camp McKee | Jeffersonville, KY
⏰ Registration closes September 15!

👉 Register at bgcscouting.org

Learn. Lead. Have fun. Give Scouts a great adventure! 🌲⚜️
