    Once every two years the Dan Beard Council calls all Boy Scouts to the banks of the Little Miami River for a unique gathering – Peterloon, the longest and largest continuously operating camporee in the history of Scouting – a council tradition since 1927.

    Once every two years the Dan Beard Council calls all Boy Scouts to the banks of the Little Miami River for a unique gathering – Peterloon, the longest and largest continuously operating camporee in the history of Scouting – a council tradition since 1927.

    Back in 1927, the first Peterloon took place at Peterloon Farm, the estate of a prominent Cincinnati family, the Emerys. Over the years, the event kept the name, even after moving to other locations, such as a county park and a local airport. By 1965, Peterloon was located at the Dan Beard Scout Reservation Lower Camp Craig, where it has been held ever since.

    The first event was created so that Scouts could make their own camping equipment and do more camping as a patrol on an overnight basis. In 1927, 300 Scouts and leaders participated in the first camporee. Peterloon has retained a reputation for its fundamental approach to patrol competition, hands on experiences, and outdoor fun in the scouting traditions.

    Since the mid-1950’s Peterloon has been held every other year. Waiting two years for the next event increases anticipation as participants look forward to what for many is both a celebration of Scouting and a reunion for scouts of all ages. In 2019 Peterloon had many firsts... Cub Scouts and girls were invited to attend for the weekend and we held the largest Peterloon to date with over 6,000 visitors.
