Scout Rendezvous 2024 just around the corner
A chance for area Scouts and any youngster interested in learning more about Scouting is right around the corner.
Scout Rendezvous 2024 will take place at Hartmann’s Camp near Nashville Sept. 20-22 and will feature loads of outdoor activities including tent camping.
Scout Rendezvous 2024 is designed to ignite curiosity, passion and exploration in outdoor fun for youngsters throughout Holmes County.
“This is a chance for families to really step inside the Scouting world to see what it’s all about,” area Scouting leader Jeff Miller said. “There’s going to be a lot to do and experience connected to the outdoors, and it could serve as a great introduction into the world of Scouting for kids and families who may not have ever experienced it before.”
The invitation is going out to families and packs and troops, and visitors are welcome to join the fun and find out what Scouting is all about, including target practice with BB guns and archery, a fishing derby, a catapult, live animal shows, outdoor cooking, flag retirement, and a pulled-pork dinner.
The fun will begin Friday, Sept. 20 with tent setup and free time for families, Scouts and kids to explore.
Opening ceremonies will kick off Saturday, Sept. 21, with stations rolling from 9 a.m. to noon. Following lunch, the animal show will begin at 1 p.m., followed by fishing, catapulting and more activities.
A community pulled-pork supper will begin at 5:30 p.m., with evening events kicking off at 7 p.m. including a campfire and flag retirement.
“Scouts, families and anyone interested can come stay for the entire weekend or simply come for a day to enjoy the experience,” Miller said.
The event is designed for families and potential Scouts to chat with area leaders in all of Holmes County’s Scout and pack troops and even connect with current troop members who can share their experiences.
The cost to attend Scout Rendezvous 2024 is $5 apiece for Scouts, siblings and visitors or $10 per family, and that includes patches for everyone.
For more information call Miller at 330-231-1501.
Hartmann’s Camp is located at 6060 County Road 52, close to Nashville. The event is sponsored by the Scouters of Holmes County.
