First Campout - Peterloon!

JOIN MORE THAN 6,500 PARTICIPANTS, VISITORS, AND STAFF AT PETERLOON 2024: LEADERSHIP IN ACTION!

WHAT IS PETERLOON? Once every two years, the Dan Beard Council calls all Scouts to the banks of the Little Miami River for a unique gathering – Peterloon. It is the longest continuously operating camporee in the history of Scouting East of the Mississippi River, and has been a council tradition since 1927. Peterloon is Dan Beard Council’s large-scale bi-annual encampment for Scouts BSA and Cub Scouts members.

Peterloon offers excitement around every corner! From camp-wide programs and shows to tasty bites available from a fleet of food trucks, every minute of the Peterloon adventure has something to offer.

Pack 113 will be participating in two ways:

  • Webelos (4th Grade) and AOL (5th Grade) Scouts and adult leaders will camp together next to Troop 114 (middle school and high school age Scouts BSA). This is a fantastic opportunity to get a taste of how the Scouting adventure continues after Cub Scouts.

  • Tiger (1st Grade) through Bear (3rd Grade) Scouts will camp together with adult leaders, parents, and families.

Tigers (First Grade) - 1st Den Meeting

Tigers (First Grade) - 1st Den Meeting

  • Cincinnati Pack 113 (Hyde Park Community United Methodist Church) (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Our first Tigers (First Grae) den meeting will take place from 6:30pm-7:30pm on Wednesday, September 18, in the Refectory of the Hyde Park United Methodist Church, 1345 Grace Avenue, Cincinnati, Ohio 45208. (Please have your scouts wear their field uniforms to our first if they have them.  If not, no worries, please come in comfortable clothes.)

After that den meetings will typically take place on the second Wednesday of every month from 6:30pm-7:30pm.  However, when those Wednesdays conflict with pack meetings, we will push that month’s meeting to the third Wednesday of the month.  We may also have some months in which the pack activity (e.g., pinewood derby) will serve as our den activity.  The meetings will typically take place in the Refectory of the Hyde Park United Methodist Church.  But watch for announcements for special meetings locations when appropriate for our activities.
