Recap of January 6 Meeting

January 6 Meeting - Encampments

Camping for the Centennial Camporee will be "jamboree style." There will be 8 encampments at the event. Each troop attending will be assigned a camping area within one of those encampments. Every attendee will be provided a T-shirt to be worn throughout the day. Everyone in your encampment will be wearing the same color T-shirt, so you know which group to follow throughout the day! Each encampment will have its own activities and functions. One of these activities will be the Skit and Performance Competition on Friday night. This will determine who will represent the Encampment at the Saturday Night Campfire. Each encampment will also have its own flag raising and flag lowering ceremony.

Each encampment area will have its own dining fly to function as a group Headquarters. Each encampment area will also have its own group fire container, American flag, encampment flag, ax yard, and a few picnic tables to share.

Each troop will have a list of Required Equipment to bring to the Camporee. Because of the number of attendees we are expecting, we strongly suggest the use of gas stoves for cooking. We are also going to strongly discourage single-occupancy tents in order to maximize the space available for camping.

Most likely, you will be camping alongside troops from outside your home district. We encourage you to make friends with your neighbor and get to know your fellow Scouts!
