Come outside and participate in the Bear Paw Spring Camporee, so save the date for 2026!  We will have special Harry Potter themed events, along with a one of a kind Harry Potter themed Camporee patch! This is your chance to complete a merit badge or finish one that you started at summer camp or just come for the fun!  When registering online, Scouts or Unit Leaders must register for specific programming from the activities being offered. This year will be a joint camporee effort between Gathering Waters, Twin Lakes, and Voyageur Districts!  Let's get outdoors and have some fun!
