TROOP 415

Saturday, Sept 19, 2026

Advance-O-Rama is a weekend event that gives Scouts the opportunity to make progress on advancement in a single weekend. Scouts can work on Trail to First Class requirements or choose from a variety of Merit Badge classes. With dozens of merit badges available, including many Eagle-required badges, there are opportunities for Scouts of all ranks and interests.

Adults will have the opportunity to take training for Scoutmaster / Assistant Scoutmaster, Merit Badge Councelor, and Troop Committee.  Also for adults we will have fireside chats with professional scouters and members of the GGAC Executive Board.  For everyone, there will be a midway with information booths spotlighting organizations and events throughout the council.
