October Campouts are highly flexible based on the goals of the scout. For those working towards the backpacking merit badge, there is a potential backpacking trip to the Ocala National Forest. For scouts focused on various advancements, the merit badge fair may be a good option. Other scouts may find it valuable to add to their service hours by staffing the Cub Scout Spookaree camp.
