DON'T MISS THE 2027 NORTHERN STAR INTERNATIONAL CAMPOREE!
May 14 - 16, 2027, Phillippo Scout Camp, Cannon Falls, MN

MARK YOUR CALENDAR TODAY!!! Scouts won’t have to travel overseas to experience the excitement of World Scouting. From Friday, May 14 to Sunday, May 16, 2027, Camp Phillippo, located at 30654 32nd Avenue Way in Cannon Falls, Minnesota will transform into a global village for Northern Star Council's International Camporee. While not every Scout can attend the World Jamboree in Poland, every Scout is invited to discover the spirit of international Scouting here at home.

Throughout the weekend, Scouts will take part in games, activities, and hands-on adventures designed to explore what World Scouting is all about. Each Troop will represent a different country’s contingent, filling the camp with international spirit. Scouts will even have the opportunity to connect with others around the globe through radio and internet communications.

The camporee will also introduce Scouts and leaders to World Scouting opportunities beyond the weekend, including programs they can participate in from home, ways to attend another country’s Jamboree, and international Scouting humanitarian projects that support Scouts around the world.

This Camporee is designed to launch Troops into a wider world of Scouting and inspire them to see themselves as part of a global movement. More details will be shared in early 2027, but Troops and families are encouraged to save the date now: May 14-16, 2027.

For more information or to help with the event, contact Tom Baltutis, Northern Star International Representative, at [email protected].

Registration closes on May 9, 2027.
