The popular Spooky-Trail is a fun opportunity to have some spooky fun with your pack. Bring your costume and be ready for a spooky-good time. *COVID-19 Updates: Program will be adapted to follow social distancing guidelines, small group sizes, and use of face coverings as appropriate. Website will be updated accordingly to reflect changes.

Highlights from 2019! Ride along cowboys, at Camp Stearns we’ll have ponies and we’re keeping Trunk or Treat! And, for the first time ever, Spooky-Ree was expanded by one location –  to Phillippo Scout Reservation.
