- Recruitment Campout – November 8-10, 2024, Black Minors Bar State Park. This campout has changed slightly. National BSA has implemented new rules for camping with a troop. First off, all participants must be registered members of Scouts BSA to camp overnight with a troop. So AOL scouts may camp overnight BUT must attend with their unit with their own unit two-deep leadership, proper training (BALOO), and parent/guardian. If kids are NOT currently in a troop or pack they may attend during the day.
