Camporee 20082010 Alpine District Camporee at Camp Pigott!

Skills | Competition | Service

Photos from last year: Camporee 2008

Camporee is a District wide event with all Troops from Alpine District gathering for a weekend competition.  Camporee will be packed with great skill testing activities. The emphasis of the events will be on Scout Skills and in having as much fun as is possible in the short time we will have!

Date: May 7-9 2010
Cost: tbd


Camporee will be set up for patrols to rotate from event to event. Each troop will be under the leadership of its Senior Patrol Leader. Adult leaders should not enter into any field of competition or offer assistance that might enhance the troop/patrol performance. This will allow for the greatest expression of boy leadership as the troop/patrols will be competing on their own accord. They will be judged on their ability, as a result of their scout training and teamwork, to meet any problems or challenges that may be presented to them. Also planned are several elective activities and if you are not too tired…a “spot of tug of war” will conclude Saturdays events.

Awards: In addition to the traditional awards for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place finishers, we’ll be offering special awards for various events and activities. Camporee will officially begin with the Friday afternoon with arrival and hiking into camp. Troops should plan to have camp set up by 8:30 PM. (Bring your favorite camp story…you may just get to share it at the campfire!) Competition will end Saturday afternoon at 3:00 PM, final score tallying will take place with an award ceremony being held at 4:30 PM.   Troops are encouraged to take advantage of already being “in the field” and to give your Scouts the opportunity for another night of camping. Saturday night activities include a closing Campfire with OA Callout ceremony are planned. A Crackerbarrel hosted by the OA will begin immediately after the Campfire.
