CAMP EASTMAN TURNS 100 IN 2026

TIME CAPSULE CONTENTS TO BE DISPLAYED 29th DAY of AUGUST,

SCOUTS WILL HOST WEEKEND CAMPOREE

TURN OF THE MILLENIUM TIME CAPSULE OPENS THIS YEAR

ADVANCE NOTICE - Camp Eastman will mark its centennial this summer with a fitting tribute to its storied past, as contents of a time capsule placed in 2001 are set to be displayed on August 29, 2026.

The capsule is expected to reveal photographs and mementos from Scouts, offering a glimpse into camp life at the dawn of the 21st century. Its opening is the highlight of the celebration, commemorating one hundred years since Camp Burro's founding in 1926.

Scouts and Scouters, both past and present, are expected to gather for the occasion, as Camp Eastman observes a century of outdoor adventure, character building, fellowship, and tradition — one hundred years of Scout camping, with many more yet to come.

SCOUTS WILL CAMP DURING WEEKEND 'ANNIVERS-O-REE'

ADVANCE NOTICE - Scouts from across the region will gather at Camp Eastman from August 28th through 30th, 2026, for the “Annivers-O-Ree,” a camporee held in honor of the camp’s one hundredth year since its founding in 1926 as Camp Burro.

Throughout the weekend, the grounds will be filled with the sight of Scouts in camp, mindful that they walk in the very same places where generations before them pitched their tents a century ago. There is a quiet pride in knowing they share in a tradition so long sustained.

A novel feature of the occasion will find Scouts trying their hand at a putting course set across the camp, each hole offering a glimpse into the history and growth of Camp Eastman. In sport and in learning alike, the past and present shall meet upon the same ground.

The Annivers-O-Ree serves as a gathering where today’s Scouts take their place in a story one hundred years in the making.
