A Quilt Scouts Base Camp is a local troop hosted at a quilt shop or fabric store where quilters can gather, learn new skills, earn badges, and build friendships within their community. It’s a space for adventure, creativity, and connection—whether you're a beginner or an experienced quilter.

No, you don’t need to be a Quilt Scouts online member to participate in a Base Camp, but members may receive additional benefits, such as exclusive badge opportunities, patterns, or discounts. Check with your local Base Camp leader for details on participation.

You can use the Base Camp Locator, check the Quilt Scouts community platform for a list of active Base Camps, or ask at your local quilt shop or fabric store to see if they’re hosting one. If there isn’t one nearby, you might consider starting your own!

Yes! If you own a quilt shop or fabric store, or if you have a group of quilters looking to form a local troop, you can apply to become a Base Camp host. Quilt Scouts provides guidelines, resources, and support to help you get started.
