Financial hardship: No Scout should be turned away for lack of funds. Email info@mendoncentennialcamporee.org — the committee handles all requests confidentially.

Backpacking

Space is limited — early and special registration required. Backpacking troops must arrive Friday night.

Arrival & Trail Access

Backpacking troops hike in on Friday evening and camp in the designated backpacking area for the full weekend. Final trail start points and routes are confirmed with the committee in June 2026. Examples under discussion include:

  • Henry P. Clough Elementary School
  • Quisset Road
  • Daniels Farm
  • Hop Brook
  • Other locations (coordinate with the 1926 Committee)

See Backpacking for suggested route descriptions and requirements.

Pack Light, Be Ready

Backpacking troops should travel light with everything they need to survive and thrive at the camporee for the full weekend — from Friday night through Sunday.

  • Pack-in / pack-out everything
  • Full camping kit: tent, sleep system, cook gear, food
  • Leave No Trace throughout
  • Coordinate with the 1926 Committee for your specific trail route

Backpacker registration is separate from standard unit registration. Contact us to inquire about backpacking spots — space fills quickly.
