Peterloon

EVENT DESCRIPTION

Held every two years in the fall, Peterloon is the premier event of the Dan Beard Council. The world's longest running Council Jamboree took its name from the Emery family farm where it was held annually from 1927 until 1956, when it became so large that it moved to Camp Lower Craig, also now called Cub Scout Adventure World, at the Dan Beard Scout Reservation near Loveland, Ohio. over 6,000 Scout Youths, Adult Scouters, Leaders, Volunteers, Parents, and Visitors attended Peterloon 2010 and a celebrated Scouitng's centennial together. Our tradition of delivering the longest continually operating Camporee in the worldwide history of Scouting has been maintained and extended another two years.
