CAMPOREE
A Titanic Event for Webelos
and Boy Scouts is coming soon!! The Canyons District Camporee will be held April 20-22 at Firestone Scout Reservation. This year’s A Camporee to Remember will commemorate the 100th
anniversary of the sinking of RMS
Titanic by incorporating nautical-themed games in which the Scouts can
practice and demonstrate their scout skills.
Each patrol will have a PFD (Personal Flotation Device) to accompany
it during the day’s ocean adventure, and patrols or troops can enter a
Titanic regatta with their own boats.
Once again, Iron Scouts will compete with secret ingredients for the
tastiest and most beautifully presented meals. There will be a camp promo booth, adult
training opportunities (BALOO and IOLS testing), service project
opportunities, and information on Hornaday awards,
the 2013 Jamboree, and Leave No Trace.
In addition, Saturday, April 21, will be open for Webelos to join in the fun of
participating in the Boy Scout games, sharing meals with Troops, and
attending the campfire and movie in the evening. |
