Early Lilygrove was often a target of vermin affected by the Mossflower drought. In response, the Lilygrove Scouts were created as an armed and trained militia to assuage conflict. In order to best protect the town, they built a great camp at the top of the tallest peak, setting up watchtowers and warning fires able to spot danger well before it reached them. This became known as Hilltop Camp.
Though once housing hundreds, the camp now only serves a half dozen or so full time Scouts. The rest of the defenders come from neighboring towns and villages that sprung up after the decline of Lilygrove's renaissance.
