WHEN: January 30 - February 1, 2026

WHERE: Camp Gorsuch

REGISTRATION: Great Alaska Council - Freezeree 2026 FEES: $10 for Scouts; $5 for Cubs/Webelos/AOLs; $5 for adults. Participants will get an event patch. Fees will be waived for Cubs/Webelos/AOLs who bring a friend. There are different requirements to bring a friend; please see the registration page.

GOAL: This Camporee is a council-wide event for both the Cub Scout and Scouting programs. There will be events for both Cubs/Webelos/AOLs, but also fun (and scored) events for Scouts. Similar to the 2025 Freezeree which was combined with the Cub Winter Fun Day, this will be an opportunity for Troops to introduce Cub Scouts, Webelos and Arrows of Light to the adventures of Scouting. The goal of the Freezeree is for Scouts to (1) showcase the skills they’ve learned to excite younger Cub Scouts, Webelos and Arrows of Light to continue their journey and one day become a Scout themselves, and (2) to show the Cubs what a Camporee is all about as they rotate through a series of challenges/activities that will be scored. These activities will only be open to Scouts, though AOLs who are participating with Troops (and not Packs). And of course, there should be an opportunity for freezer points!

THEME: Winter Olympics

CAMPING: Troops will select camp sites when they register. Depending on the number of Scouts and Troops registered, some camp sites may be shared.

PARKING: Parking is going to be tight. It’s winter so we’re going to lose space and the Packs are invited on Saturday so there’s going to be lots and lots of cars. Please limit the number of vehicles to the absolute minimum. Also, plan on hauling your gear to the campsites. Driving and/or parking along the roads may be limited or stopped altogether.

GENERAL CONCEPT: This year’s Freezeree will be combined with the Cub Winter Fun Day. It is designed to maximize interaction between Troops/Packs and Scouts/Cub, while also holding a limited number of scored challenges for Troop.
