An Aaronic Priesthood Encampment
Celebrating 100 Years of Scouting in

THE CHURCH OF
JESUS CHRIST
OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS


The encampment will be a 4-day event beginning on Wednesday, June 26, 2013 and ending on Saturday, June 29, 2013 about 2 miles off I-15 just south of Shelley, ID. All Boy Scout, Varsity Scout, and Venturing Scout units (LDS and non-LDS units alike) within the Grand Teton Council are invited to participate. We're expecting over 10,000 young men to join us for this once-in-a-lifetime experience. The encampment is not intended to replace 2013's scout camp or high adventure outings, and it will not be focused on earning merit badges. We'll have a kick-off event, 2 full days of high-adventure type activities, camp-wide games, live entertainment, a laser show, and a camp-wide fireside featuring leaders from both the LDS Church and the Boy Scouts of America.

Registration for this event is to be handled completely online through this website. The registration interface is now available. The registration deadline, which was originally April 1st, has been extended until May 15, 2013. If you haven't already registered your unit, please complete registration now. Unit and Stake leaders should also download the Leaders Guide, which contains vital information concerning the encampment schedule, directions, instructions for registering, a suggested menu, and much more.
