AOL Zombie Outpost is BACK and better than ever!

Arrow of Light Scouts...A wondrous convocation brews within the enchanted realm of R-BOO-C, crafted solely for your spirit!! Do you want to slumber and conjure feasts among your own with the Zombie Troop? Zombie Outpost gets special time for casting starry bolts and darts as well. Zombie Outpost souls will slumber near Wrangler’s Cabin, parted from their Pack, with the Zombie Troop. (The AOLs are not bound to slumber at Zombie Outpost, yet may still partake in the grand festivities of the realm). Zombie Outpost souls will also conjure, Saturday morning and afternoon, feasts in their realm with mystical ingredients bestowed by R-BOO-C staff. Saturday night, the feast shall unfold in the Sacred Hall of Nourishment, midst kindred spirits at the ordained hour. At final dawn, a feast of morning delights shall grace the closing rites. REGISTER AS ZOMBIE OUTPOST YOUTH OR ADULT.

Pumpkin Carving Contest:

Either bestow thy gourd, already etched with runes, or summon its spirit beneath the campfire's glow Friday eve. Pumpkins must be relinquished to the fates no later than Friday, October 10th at 9:00pm in the Sacred Hall of Nourishment. Thou must be a scribed soul midst the enchanted gathering of the realms. Bewitched gourds shall not be returned, for they will do wondrous deeds and spew forth the dark essence on Saturday (Oozing Pumpkins). Winners for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.

Campsite Halloween Decorating Contest:

Who among the enchanted souls shall weave spells to craft the finest All Hallows' Eve adorned realm? Lights need be battery operated as there are no portals of power in your realm. Summon forth that divine artistry and shadowy enchantment! Winners for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.

Haunted Walk:

We shall embark upon two enchanted wanderings. The first, a gentle path for our fledgling scouts, cloaked in whispers of shadows. The latter shall lead us through the heart of darkness, a thrilling journey where specters dance, so gather your luminous orbs to ward off the unseen terrors.

Fan Favorite Deadwood Derby RETURNS!

Summon forth a chariot of wood to partake in the Deadwood Derby, where we send enchanted carriages hurtling down a treacherous and shadowy path. You are invited to conjure your own Deadwood Car and witness its journey afar. Beware! These mystical vessels may encounter fierce trials upon the cliff of shadows! Gaze upon the Deadwood Derby Rules in the Guide of Souls for how to offer thy chariot of wood to the cliff of shadows! Hark! Beware, for chariots of wood may meet with misfortune. (We do NOT recommend using a Pinewood Derby Car). Winners for 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

Yesteryear, more than 475 souls reveled in a delightfully frightful gathering at R-BOO-C!
