Scouting the Moon is a trail-running event in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania, hosted by Scouts BSA Troop 198.

The event emphasizes Scout values such as leadership, service, and character, with proceeds funding camping gear, merit badges, leadership recognition, and scholarships for summer camp and year‑round outdoor activities. Highlights include a race T‑shirt for all participants (while supplies last), custom wooden finisher medals, and awards for top male and female finishers in both distances.
