Boy Scouts of America
Within the Boy Scouts of America, it is common for reveille to be sounded as a "wake up" for a large encampment of scouts – usually a camporee, jamboree or summer camp. The music may be played over the camp's intercom, or bugled or trumpeted by the camp bugler. An individual scout unit may also sound reveille to rouse the scouts and scouters on a weekend trip, though this is less common.
