This year’s Palmetto Council Gold Rush Campout will be held on October 13-15, 2023 at Westminster Park in Rock Hill. This is a Pack favorite for many reasons but the biggest being it’s in our backyard. Since its so close you can campout 1 night, both nights or just come out for the events on Saturday. Even if the Scout(s) and an Adult are camping, the rest of the family can come out and spend the Saturday enjoying the festivities but not staying over. It’s a great event that has a lot of flexibility for enjoyment.
Gold Rush events consists of Saturday all local packs create carnival style games that Scouts can go around and play to win candy. After that Pack 108 will host a family dinner for everyone to enjoy before heading over to the evening Campfire held by the district full of skits, songs, and recognizing the newest Scouts that have earned their Bobcat Rank.
Cost is free for the Scout and 1 adult for the whole weekend’s events.
