Description
Welcome to THE BIG ONE Camporee 2026!
This year’s Camporee will take place May 15–17, 2026, at Camp Pigott in Snohomish County. This immersive, scenario-based experience places Scouts in the aftermath of a Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake, challenging them to think, lead, and work together using their scouting skills.
Saturday (0745-1800) is the primary activity day, with all times in 24-hour format, commonly used in disaster scenarios.
For this exercise (Camporee), all personnel from a Troop will be referred to as a “Rescue Crew”, an integral self-contained unit. The Rescue Crew contains Rescue Patrols (youth) and Rescue Mentors (Adults). Please see the Terms and Definitions section for additional language.
This is not a typical Camporee – it is an exciting, hands-on opportunity to build confidence, teamwork, and preparedness. Aspects of this event may be unfamiliar to scouts. Scouts should be reminded that scouting is challenge-by-choice and should be empowered to participate as much as they feel comfortable. This is a great opportunity to try something new and challenging! Show yourself how prepared you really are!
