Welcome to Quilt Scouts Base Camp

What is Quilt Scouts Base Camp?

Quilt Scouts Base Camp is a brand-new program bringing Quilt Scouts into your local community! Imagine a troop of like-minded quilters meeting regularly at a nearby quilt shop or fabric store, sharing skills, creativity, and a love for adventure. That’s what Base Camp is all about! Base Camp is a local chapter of Quilt Scouts, where quilters can gather in-person to participate in fun activities, workshops, and merit badge challenges. Hosted by trusted quilt and fabric shops, these gatherings are designed to help you grow your skills, connect with others, and enjoy the quilting journey—together!
