RENDEZVOUS!  The great gathering of the Varsity Scout Mountain Men.  The place to go to swap stories, compete, camp, eat, make new friends and have as good a time as they did in the early 1800's!

A trapper's camp full of mountain men will show your young men what it was like to work and live in the mountains.  There will be campfire skits, singing, demonstrations, Rocky Mountain Woofums, a great breakfast, competition, running, shooting and throwing.  Skills will be taught, with competition for teams, individual scouts and also the leaders!  Make this part of your yearly program and start preparing your team to become MOUNTAIN MEN!  Make mountain man clothes and equipment and come to the Rendezvous looking and camping as Mountain Men!
