Fan favorite Peanuts is returning to San Diego Comic-Con, and they’re inviting you to celebrate 50 years of the Beagle Scouts with them, as well as the upcoming Apple TV+ series CAMP SNOOPY, with merchandise, a pop-up, panel, and more. In the Gaslamp, Peanuts will be setting up camp at 200 J. Street, Suite 105 for a "Camp Snoopy" and “Beagle Scouts” pop-up. Attendees will find plenty of activities, with bird spotting (how many Woodstocks and his fellow Beagle Scout bird friends can you spot?), learning how to read a Peanuts-themed compass, and a writing-letters home station (“Send cookies!”). The offsite will also feature merch, including an adorable Woodstock Youtooz plush, Pintrill pins of Snoopy and the Beagle Scouts; iron-on merit badges; a Snoopy canteen; a compass; a burritote (for keeping your burrito warm, of course!). And with prices ranging from $10 to $25, you can snag what you want while still saving some pennies for the booth merchandise. The pop-up will be open Thursday, July 20 – Sunday, July 23 from 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. daily. On the show floor of the Convention Center, you’ll find Peanuts at Booth #1635, where you’ll be a happy camper to discover Snoopy himself, making in-person appearances throughout the con.
