JUNE 6 - 8 SUNY MORRISVILLE 

The Trades Trek Camporee is an immersive Scouting event designed to introduce youth to exciting career paths in the trades through hands-on learning. Scouts will engage in practical courses covering a range of skills, including electrical work, automotive repair, welding, construction, environmental sciences, and more.

In addition to this great program there will be time set aside for fun, outdoor games, and fellowship.

This event is open to all  Scouts. There will be an age-appropriate curriculum for Cub Scouts so that everyone can have a safe and eductional camporee.

The Trades

We have an exciting array of programs available. Each Scouts, BSA youth will be able to select one of eight different program tracks. Each track features four different trades. Select the track that appeals the most to each of your Scouts, but they must have a buddy and they must stick with their Track group. So, if a Scout selects Track 6, another Scout from his unit must also Select Track 6 and they will become buddies. They need to stay with their track group all day since there will be adults going with the kids. This ensures no kids are off wandering around on their own. Please be aware that to ensure safe programs for Cub Scouts, there is only one Track for Cub Scouts (Track 9). There is a maximum capacity of 40 youth per track so it will be first come first served. If one track is full, units will have to select from one of the others.

There is a specific Cub Scout Track that has age appropriate programming and has hands on activites.
