Scout troops arrive on Friday evening and camp on the Village grounds until Sunday morning. During the day on Saturday, the Boy Scouts will be able to meet with merit badge counselors to demonstrate their knowledge of the skills required to earn merit badge(s). To earn some of the merit badges the Scouts are required to have completed all of the prerequisite items listed for an individual badge. There are four merit badge sessions. Each session is one hour and twenty minutes in length. Many badges can be completed in a single session, but some will require two or more sessions.

The Cub Scouts of Bolingbrook and the surrounding area also participate in this event. The Webelos have an opportunity to work on two activity pins and learn the Boy Scout joining requirements. There also is a "Cub Carnival" in the afternoon.
