What makes this event Exclusive? 

This event is limited to 52 youth participants only, first-come, first-serve. Registrations will close once capacity is reached. There are also 20 adult participant spaces open, first-come, first-serve.

Why the Winter Solstice?

The Winter Solstice is a phenomenon that happens once a year in the Northern Hemisphere; where the Earth's poles tilt maximally away from the Sun.  Hence, we get the shortest day and longest night.  Historically, this event has been celebrated with great feasts, festivals, & fellowship across the world.  To read more about the cultural, historical, and scientific significance of the Winter Solstice, click here.  The next time the December Winter Solstice falls on a weekend will be in 5 years!  So, this is truly a once-in-a Scouting Lifetime event.  Register today!

Want your name engraved on a stone in the Solstice Plaza? 

You can sponsor a stone in the Solstice Plaza for a small donation. With donation, your name can be forever etched in stone at the Lake of the Ozarks Scout Reservation. Interested? Link to the form will be posted soon!

The numbers you use are weird. Why?

52 (the total scout slots available & adult leader cost) - there are 52 weeks in a year

182 (the scout cost (at the early bird rate)) - there are approximately 182 days until the next solstice - the summer solstice (June 20th 2020)
