WinterFest 2026
West TN Scout's 20th Annual
WinterFest at Lavinia
Get ready for an unforgettable adventure at the Scouts BSA WinterFest 2026! Mark your calendars for January 30-February 1 and join us at the National Guard Training Center in Lavinia, TN for a thrilling weekend of Scouting fun. With a nominal fee of just $25 (before January 19), you'll enjoy an overnight stay in a real military base!, engaging programs, a delicious Saturday lunch, and a unique collectible patch. Late registrations are welcome too at $30!
This is your chance to dive into a 4-hour Merit Badge session on Saturday morning, where you can explore a potential future career or a lifetime hobby interest. WinterFest is designed to ignite your passion for learning and adventure, offering an opportunity to start earning merit badges in a range of exciting fields, and to fellowship with your fellow Scouts! Keep in mind, that some badges can't be completed in a day – but we'll give you a head start and the blue cards for the requirements you've completed.
Join us for a weekend of exploration, learning, and fun. WinterFest 2026 is where Scouts thrive and memories are made. Be a part of it!
