Thank you for joining the next great adventure in Scouting.

Scoutoree is finally about to happen, after a year of thinking, rethinking, planning, and developing.

The first Scoutoree will take units to a medieval fantasy age, titled CONQUEST. Units will jump back in time as explorers searching for Scouting’s oldest values.

As PART I of A TIMELESS VALUES TRILOGY, CONQUEST brings all three East Carolina Council districts into the action as kingdoms. When the fog clears, one troop, and therefore one kingdom, will be crowned upon a throne at the Saturday night program. PART II will be revealed after the crowning ceremony.

Contained within this guide are details about the journey ahead. Costumes and cosplay are encouraged to enhance the experience. I can’t wait to see you on the trail.

Thank you for being a part of the magic of Scouting.

Register at ecc.tentaroo.com. The event is listed as CONQUEST SCOUTOREE (Formerly Council Camporee).

The cost is $20.00 per person until April 17, 2025. Youth four-years-old and under are free. Late registration increases to $30.00 starting April 18, 2025.

Please make sure all profiles are accurate. Check that all Cub Scouts have the correct den listed. The only registered leaders are Scouters. Please make sure you list the unit you will be camping with.

Anyone attending the event at any time must be registered on ecc.tentaroo.com.

Registration will close on April 29, 2025, at 11:59 PM.

Restrooms

Portable toilets and wash stations will be provided by Council and positioned around camp so that all campsites can have proper restroom access.
