MOUNTAINEER DISTRICT
AOL - TRAIL TO TROOP EXPERINCE

Camp Mountaineer   |    October 23 - 25, 2026

The trail ahead is waiting, and your next great adventure starts here!

Arrow of Light Scouts are invited to join us for Trail to Troop, a special weekend designed to help Scouts discover what Scouts BSA is all about. The AOL year is an exciting time, but it moves quickly — this event gives Scouts the opportunity to complete requirements, explore new adventures, and connect with troops from across the council before taking the next step in their Scouting journey.

Throughout the weekend, Scouts will have the chance to meet Scouts BSA troops and experience the activities, traditions, and adventures that make each troop unique. Troops will showcase what they do best, from climbing walls and Dutch oven cooking to fishing, high-tech outdoor adventures, and other exciting electives and skills.

But Trail to Troop is more than just a showcase — it’s a chance to spend time with troops, make new friends, try new things, and experience the fun and fellowship of Scouts BSA.

Scouts and leaders are invited to camp and experience the full troop camping experience. Spend two nights around the campfire, learn what troop life is like, and see why Scouts BSA is the next great adventure.

The trail to your next adventure begins at Trail to Troop!
