Go on a magical adventure, defeat monsters, and solve puzzles at the Grand Moot!

Every five years, representatives of the villages of the Ostuc region come together for a Grand Moot to reaffirm friendships, trade stories, and decide how to pool their resources for the coming years. The villages that attended the last Grand Moot had a particularly eventful gathering, and while they work on fulfilling their projects, other villages in the region will now arrive to solve their own set of goals and threats.

Grand Moot is an outdoor adventure roleplaying scenario (OARS) where each Scout will take on the role of a villager attending Grand Moot. Each villager has different magical abilities and attributes - similar to classes in a videogame or tabletop game - and must work together to complete various scenarios. Scouts can roleplay with NPCs, defeat monsters in fast-paced physical combat, explore the beautiful trails of Hi Sierra, and negotiate with other Scouts to advance their village's goals.

Come see what adventures await at this year's Grand Moot!

Participants will receive materials to create tools and costumes at the event. They will recieve leatherworking materials at the event. If they have completed the Leatherwork merit badge they will be able to work on advanced armor projects.
