2026 Scouts BSA Spring Camporee

Air & Space Adventure
April 17–19, 2026
WACO Air Museum | Troy, Ohio

Get ready for liftoff! Scouts BSA units from across the council are invited to the 2026 Spring Camporee, an unforgettable Air & Space–themed weekend at the iconic WACO Air Museum in Troy, Ohio. Scouts will explore aviation, space science, and weather while camping among historic aircraft and participating in hands-on activities designed to inspire curiosity and adventure.

Throughout the weekend, Scouts can earn merit badges, test their skills in competitions, experience flight simulators, and enjoy demonstrations of model aircraft. The highlight for many will be the Aviation Merit Badge, which includes a short flight experience (parent/guardian waiver required).

Saturday evening will feature a camp-wide potluck dinner, with each unit or patrol providing a side dish or dessert, followed by fellowship and fun before a night under the stars.
