“Baden-Powell 101”At Loma Linda Camp Site,Firestone Scout Reservation

April 29 – May 1, 2016

El Capitan Districts 2016Night Time Camporee & Camporall & Venturing

“Baden-Powell 101”Greetings Boy Scouts, Crew Leaders and Webelos:

PLEASE READ THIS PACKET VERY CAREFULLY! All Scout leaders, attending adults, SPL’s, ASPL’s, and Crews and Denner’s should be well acquainted with the rules and regulations BEFORE you arrive at the event to avoid misunderstandings. There have been many major changes and updates!

This year’s Camporee/Camporall/Venturing will be a special event done again in the same format like last year’s camporee. Again this event will be “Reversed” meaning no setting up the campsite but only tents to sleep at night. Competition outdoor skills for Patrols, Crew and Webelos will be tested, as well as their teamwork and ingenuity and foremost communication between team members. Scouts should be prepared to use their skills in Knots, Pioneering, Map Making and Orienteering, First aid and more. Units will have the opportunity to compete in the Campsite Inspection and Camp Gadget competition. Also don’t forget that Units will be judged on unit flags. Unit flags are to be Chemical-stick or equivalent (LED’s) with the flags. The same applies to the individual Torches is brought. Night time event means unit flags are too bright and lighted.

On Friday night the Camporee will start at 7:30 pm (Dusk for the 29th is at 7:34 pm) or when your troop will arrive soon thereafter. Check in time early is at 4:00 pm and Scouts can only set-up camp tents for the night only. Only a few vehicles per unit will be allowed into the campsites, so pack your gear carefully. Safety will be my main concern during the event so please plan to arrive early enough to set up your campsite. See for Vehicles rules – Page 6.

On Saturday morning, all units should be dressed in a Scoutly manner, identical from the waist up, to show their Scout spirit. Camp final set up will be done in day time (which is different because its day) and the final events will be done during the camp set ups so be organized oh how your units lay out your campsite. You will know your times for the Saturday events. Each unit’s will rotate through the competitive events Awards will be presented at an old-fashioned campfire on Saturday night followed by an old time cracker barrel.

On Sunday morning, we hope you’ll all join us for a very special Scout’s Own.

Every Troop, Crew and Pack should plan to provide at least one volunteer adult’s and/or senior Scouts to work on staff. Even Staff will have fun at the event as well. Remember, this event is entirely planned and run by volunteers within El Capitan District – we need everyone to contribute. Please contact me as soon as possible with the names and e-mail addresses of your volunteers.

Please note that our Events will involve Archery, 22 Cal and Hand Guns or equivalent.Scouts will only be allowed to participate if they submit a signed permission slip (sample provided in this packet).

HAVE A GREAT CAMPOREE!
