Action Center

Open 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday A link to a map of the Action Center will be placed here when it's available.

This is the place to be on Saturday to test your skills, learn new ones, see interesting and educational exhibits, and just have fun.

For Peterloon 2010, a number of events will be presented by Scouting Districts from both in and out of Council for Boy Scouts, Venturers, and Webelos to test their skills and learn new capabilities. They are identified in the table below. Many will focus on learning teamwork and developing leadership skills. All will be fun!

A key new event this year is the Amazing Race. Our traditional Peterloon classic, the Simon Kenton Relay, has been re-organized into a grander event called the Amazing Race. It will include a much larger competition area, namely the entire Dan Beard Scout Reservation. Patrols will be challenged with several skill and puzzle stations along their trek. Planned and operated by the Order of the Arrow Ku-Ni-Eh Lodge, this will be an exciting program for Scouts, and Venturers of every age. Does your patrol have what it takes to win the Amazing Race?

In addition to the events there will be a number of exhibits and demonstrations presented by Council Scouting Groups, Community Organizations, and Corporate Partners ranging from static displays to hands‑on activities for all to enjoy. These exhibits provide alternate opportunities to enhance the Scouts’ experiences in addition to the events but are not intended to replace the Action Center experience.

A complete list of exhibitors and their locations will be included in an information packet provided during check-in on Friday, October 15th.

The displays and activities will be open 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Saturday to all Scouts registered at Peterloon.

The activities below are planned for Peterloon Scouts' enjoyment and competitions by the following Districts of the Dan Beard Council, by a special Venturing Team, and by several units coming from outside the Dan Beard Council area.

Dave Olmstead is managing overall coordination of the Action Center Programs and Events.
