Great Madison Campout 2019

JMU is proud to partner with the Valley Mall and the Massanutten District of the Stonewall Jackson Area Council Scouting troops to host the 6th Annual Great Madison Campout.  This unique event provides Boy and Girl Scouts the opportunity to camp out on Zane Showker Field following the Dukes' football game against the William & Mary Tribe.  With over 500 participants and 100 tents, the previous Campouts have been a great success and this year's edition promises to be another exciting Scouting adventure.  With kick-off scheduled for 4 p.m. there will be plenty of time for scouts to enjoy the experience and take in the featured movie on the videoboard before heading to their tents for lights out.  Scouts and chaperones interested in participating should register online, read through the event details below, and be sure to fill out the participation waiver to submit on game day.
