Hello Scouts!

cid:image003.jpg@01D4BD77.5AC7ABE0

We’re excited to invite you to our first ever ScoutCon event at the Heard Scout Pueblo at South Mountain in Phoenix!  ScoutCon is Scout focused gaming convention with tabletop games, board games, card games, outdoor games, and even a Cosplay and costume competition!  We will also host Game Design and Chess merit badge workshops, as well as tutorials on how to play Magic the Gathering and Pokemon trading card games, culminating in a tournament on Saturday.  It’s all fun and games at ScoutCon, on top of a night of camping!

You can come individually or with your patrol or troop, so feel welcome to invite your friends as this is an overnight provisional troop event. You can choose to either camp outdoors or spend a night in a bunk at the Heard.  We encourage you to bring your favorite games to share and teach others, and to leave the electronics at home so you can join the fun and games at the Heard! 

There is no need to bring your class As or field uniform, but we welcome you to bring and wear costumes and hope you enter the Cosplay contest on Saturday. Costumes will be judged on creativity, conformity to lore, story, and hero. No true weapons allowed, so leave those battle axes and swords at home! There will be tournaments and cosplay contests for both Scouts and Adults.
