Your mission, should your troop choose to accept it:  Join over 2,000 Scouts BSA, Venturers, Sea Scouts, and leaders from across the Atlanta Area Council during Scout Challenge 2027: Camporee Classified at Bert Adams Scout Camp!

Every two years, our Council gathers for an unforgettable, jamboree-style weekend of adventure, competition, and Scouting camraderie.  For 2027, the camp transforms inot an active training ground for "field operatives", challenging patrols to test their skills in espionage, tradecraft, codebreaking, physical challenges, covert signaling, and tactical problem-solving.

What to Expect in the Field

- Covert Ops & Program Chalenges: Spend Saturday deciphering ciphers, navigating obstacle courses, mastering surveillance tracking, and tackling patrol-versus-patrol challenges to unlock exclusive event patches and Council bragging rights.

- The "Safehouse" Senior Scout Lounge: A dedicated zone geared to older Scouts and Ventueres featuring a space to kick back and connect with cres across the Council.  Make plans to meet up with friends from camp, OA, NYLT, and more!

- Main Stage Debrief & Live Concert: Saturday evening wraps up at the stage with a high-energy live performance by Classified
