Come join your fellow Scouts and Venturers from Lake Minnetonka District for our Fall Camporee 2019 at the Sibley County Fairgrounds, October 11-13, 2019

Sibley County Fairgrounds, 801 W Chandler St, Arlington, MN 55307. Entrance to the Camporee is located at the corner of 9thAve NW and W Chandler St in Arlington.  In July of 1885 the Sibley County Fair directors met to select a location to hold the fair for the next 5 years. The village of Arlington was selected and the fair was held there September 24-26. Prior to that it was in Henderson.

The City of Arlington donated $1,700 and grounds to keep the fair for the next 5 years. On the grounds, west of the Catholic Church, a half-mile track was built and buildings were constructed to house exhibits. The grounds were to be used for both the fair and also as a park.

Friday and/ or Saturday Tent Camping - Lake Minnetonka District Scouts and Venturers are welcome to camp Friday and/or Saturday night. Webelos are welcome to attend with a Scout BSA Troop!

Saturday Activities  SCOUTS and VENTURERS are welcome to participate if they plan to camp over night or just come out for the day on Saturday. Webelos are welcome to attend with a Scout BSA Troop!

Consider joining the LMD Contingent Troops if your home Troop is not participating. You will still have an opportunity to have a Great Experience, (Boys will be joining Troop 3337 for this event, and Girls interested will join Troop 5570.) Webelos Scouts may attend for the day or coordinate in-advance with a Scout Troop to spend the weekend.  Contact Nick Fasching for this opportunity.
