Summer Camp Teams

Wizardry Houses

For the biggest competitions at Barnhardt, we group several troops together into a great Wizardry House so they can compete as a team against the other houses. We’ll pair newer troops with our experienced groups so they have allies to guide them on their first Barnhardt journey. Where did your troop end up after we used our magical sorting hat? 

Troops that came in 2025 when we started this type of competition get to work with the same partner troops and keep the same team colors... their Viking Heer became their Wizardry House (perhaps with a new troop or two that missed out on our Viking Voyage). 

Red: House Ignis

Secondary Color: White

History & Lore: House Ignis was founded by a scout who allegedly navigated a mountain pass during a magical lightning storm to rescue a stranded patrol.

It’s said that an Ignis scout’s compass always points true, even in the most enchanted of forests. Mascot: Mountain Lion. Core Traits: Brave & Trustworthy, Always Prepared.

Their founders are said to have brewed the first 'Aurora Brew,' a potion that prevents frostbite and keeps a scout’s spirit warm without need for a fire, and to have crafted navigation tools from sunstone and packed ice.
