GENERAL INFORMATIONIn keeping with the 100th Anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America as observed in2010, the “Baden-Powell” Camporee has as its theme “Getting Back to Traditions”.The Camporee will be held at Camp Crown the weekend of October 9-11, 2015.

The Camporee is a full Friday evening through Sunday noon competitive event.Please do not consider it a “one day event” and just come up for Saturdaycompetitive events.

Traditionally, boys in Scout Troops have competed and learned Scouting Skills intheir Patrols. This was the way in which Lord Baden-Powell expected the Scouts tolearn how to be good Scouts and to lead. With this in mind, this Camporee willemphasize two of these traditions, namely the Patrol Method and Scout Skills.

Patrol MethodThe Patrol Method will be utilized in all phases of the Camporee. The boys willwork as a self standing Patrol in the areas of Camping, Cooking, and ScoutSkills competitions. This will test the Patrol’s ability to work as a team and alsotest the Patrol leadership. This is not designed to show failure but rather serveto provide a learning experience in leadership and teamwork. Due to thisrequirement, adult participation with the Scouts or coaching of the Scoutswill not be allowed. However two “Patrol Adults” will be required to registerand camp with each Patrol to ensure safety.

Scout SkillsA series of Scout Skills will be tested in friendly competitions among patrols ofsimilar age groupings. These skills will be “fundamental” time tested ScoutingSkills including:

1. Orienteering2. Fire Building3. Pioneering4. First Aid

4

5. Cooking6. Knot Tying7. Problem Solving

Please note that all phases of this Camporee are based on the Scout Skills learnedfrom Tenderfoot through First Class ranks. Even the “Patrol Preparedness” portionof the Check-in where the Scouts must show that their gear is properly packed andproper gear is accessible is based upon the first basic requirement for the Tenderfootrank.

Please carefully read this Camporee packet to fully understand the rules, thecompetition aspects, and the judging format. The Patrols that prepare and practicewill do far better than a Patrol that shows up and is confronted with the judging andcompetitions for the first time.

NOTE: It is very important to have everyone immediately get off on thecorrect footing as the Camporee begins and judging occurs starting Fridaynight. Thus it is VITAL that everyone carefully read, understand, and followthe instructions in the “Check-in” section.

A NOTE ON ADULT “HELP”

This Camporee is designed to allow the Scouts to work together as a Patrol utilizingtheir learned Scout Skills and through the Patrol Method.

This is a wonderful opportunity for the Adults in the Troop to allow the Scouts to“see what they can do”. It is amazing how much our Scouts can actually do whenthey are allowed to do it on their own without an adult showing them every step ofthe way. In fact, that is often how they best learn as stated by numerous peopleincluding Lord Baden Powell himself!

Many Scoutmasters at the 2014 Camporee said they were impressed and evenamazed at how well their Scouts did on their own without adult help and that itproved the worth of allowing the Scouts to function fully within the Patrol Method.

5

So while it is often extremely hard to allow the Scouts to “do it on their own” we asadults must do so. Thus the Camporee Staff upon seeing adults “helping” theirScouts, will gently ask that the adults stand back and let the Scouts “do it”. Ofcourse, when safety is involved, we will ask the adults to make sure the situation issafe, but that should be it.

The best way that adults can help is to in the weeks and months before theCamporee, have the Troop and Patrols learn their Scout Skills and how to worktogether as a Patrol utilizing the Patrol Method. It is amazing what the Scouts cando when they are properly trained and then allowed to use their training!

SAFETY

1. Weather and Emergency Preparednesso Should threatening weather or another emergency dictate, all Patrols

will be called to the main assembly point near the Jadel Center byTHREE HORN BLASTS

o Stop what you are doing and immediately head to the Jadel Center.2. First Aid

o The First Aid Station will be in the Jadel Center Officeo This is directly to the left upon entering the main entry of the Jadel

Center3. Medications

o Individual medications are to be handled by the Patrol Adults followingtheir own Troop’s procedures

4.Medical Formso One of the Patrol Adults should have the medical forms for their Patrol

members at least at their campsite in case of emergency need5. Emergency Assistance

o The Camporee Staff will have radios to be able to contact theCamporee Director

REGISTRATION

1. Registration will start May 1, 2015 and end on September 25, 2015 utilizing theDistrict website registration tool. Full fees must be paid as part of registration. Themain two reasons for registration ending prior to the start of the Camporee are:

A. Troops will be able to pick an available campsite during registration (firstcome first serve) so that upon arrival there is no confusion about campinglocation. See attached Camp Crown map

NOTE: Since the Camporee campsites are based upon existing CampCrown campsites (either full or sub-divided), it is strongly urged thatthe Troop be familiar with the Campsite they are reserving in order tomake an informed decision that will suit their Patrol. This is becausewe know that changes of campsite in the dark after Check-in are veryhard to accomplish.

B. Proper planning for judging and event coordination can occur.

2. Final Registration Deadline- When registration closes on September 25, 2015,absolutely no further registrations or changes to the registration will be accepted.Due to allowing this rule to be laxly enforced in 2014 with resultant Camporeeproblems, we must STRICTLY enforce it in 2015. So this means that yourTroop should plan in advance for their participation and thus registration.

3. Registration Group – Each patrol must register as a “Patrol” since they arecompeting as such (see “Participation Eligibility” for size requirements). Thismeans the full complement of named members must be registered prior toregistration close. We also MUST have Scout names for each registration, wecannot allow “Scout A” and “Scout B” this year. Should one member not beable to attend, an alternate for that member may be applied at Check-In. Eachpatrol must also have two adults registered with the patrol to serve as judges and/orCamporee Assistants as well as ensuring safety in and for their Patrol.

8

4. Fees Due- The fees will be $12 per adult or Scout up until August 21, 2015.After that and until registration closes on September 25, 2015, the fees willincrease to $15 per adult or Scout to encourage earlier registration to better allowfor Camporee planning purposes. Full fees for all participants must be paid on-lineat registration and no refunds will be available.

5. Campsite Selection- As a part of the on-line registration process, each Patrolmust request a campsite by picking an available campsite from the registrationlisting and based upon the map of Camp Crown included with the registrationmaterials on the calendar website and in this packet. The available campsites areupdated immediately during the registration period to allow for “first come – firstserved” campsite requests. Please pick a campsite that does not already haveregistrants.

PLEASE NOTE – the campsites have been selected and designated to be “PatrolSized” to both accommodate the expected turn-out and to support the Patrolcompetition rather than the usual “Troop Camping”. In most cases a Camp Crowndesignated campsite has been subdivided into more than one “Patrol campsite”, forexample NW-E-1 and NW-E-2 are two “Patrol campsites within the NW-Edesignated campsite. This means that some of them are on the small side and soproper Patrol spacing is critical to enable everyone to camp and compete at CampCrown.

Troops that wish to register more than one patrol can choose adjacent campsites ifthey are available. However, two Patrol Adults per Patrol are still required.

6. Camporee Staff – Adults who wish to attend the Camporee other than as PatrolAdults can volunteer to be Camporee staff and will have a $5 fee assessed. Thisfee will include all meals and they will camp separately from the Patrols due tospace limitations. The number of Camporee Staff will be limited and will be “firstcome, first served” on the registration website. The Camporee Staff will be askedto assist in one of the following areas based upon the needs in that area:

1. Logistics/ Judging

9

2. Food and Safety

These adults should register as “Camporee Staff” in the area of their choice andwill be required to work staff functions as assigned during the weekend and topotentially help part of a weekend before the Camporee.

10

CHECK-IN

1. Time- Check-in will be between 5:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., FridayOctober 9, 2015 at the Shelter. If possible, arriving early willhelp smooth check-in due to less light at this time of the year.Check-in at the Shelter closes at 8:30 p.m. due to logisticsconstraints. If your Patrol must arrive after 8:30p.m. onFriday night, come to the Shelter but “Check-in” points willnot be provided.

2. Arrival Upon arrival at Camp Crown, vehicles will be directed to thelarge Parking Field by the entrance. No vehicles are allowedbeyond the Parking Field except Tow Vehicles with TroopTrailers.- Troop Trailers and their Tow Vehicle will be allowed to go

deliver Patrol Gear to their Patrol campsite (See section 8-Vehicles) but any Scouts they are carrying must disembark atthe Parking Field.- Vehicles with Scouts will be parked in the large parking

field.

3. To Check-In Scouts will be required to “form up” as a Patrol in the parkingfield. This means that Scouts who rode with the Trailer Towvehicle must get out at the Parking Field and obtain theirPersonal gear before the Tow Vehicle can go to theircampsite.- When their Patrol is all together in the Parking Field (other

than late comers, see section 6-Late Check-in) they will carrytheir personal gear and walk as a Patrol to the Shelter (seeCamp Crown map).

11

4. Forms- Registration forms and fee payments for a patrol and forPatrol adults should be completed through on-line registration.Copies of the registration form should be made uponregistering on line and MUST be brought to check-in at theCamporee by the Patrol Leader.

5. Patrol Leader The Patrol Leader will check-in their Patrol upon arrivalof their full patrol. This includes three judging phases(see “Check-in Organization”, “Patrol Preparedness”, and“Uniform Inspection”). The Patrol Leader will be incharge of turning in and verifying his patrol's registration.Once all members of the Patrol have assembled in theParking Area, the Patrol will hike with their PersonalGear to the Shelter for Check-in.

NOTE: the three phases of the Check-in are worth 30points out of the total of 150 points for the Camporee.Please make sure the Patrol and Patrol Leader are awareof this.

6. Late Check-in The Camporee Staff is aware that some of our Senior Scoutsmight have sports or HS Marching Band duties on FridayOctober 9th and will not be able to arrive with their PatrolFriday night. In order to accommodate that, they will beallowed to arrive Saturday morning before 10am.

Their Patrol Leader will need to note their “late arrival” uponFriday night check-in to the judges and the late arrivalScout(s) will need to then check-in at the Shelter on Saturdaymorning no earlier than 7am.

7. Campsites- Patrols will be provided a map and their designated campsitethey selected at registration as they arrive and check-in. ACamp Crown map is included in this packet as well.

12

8. Vehicles- To minimize vehicular traffic and “Get Back to Traditions”,only one vehicle is allowed to pull a Troop Trailer containingPatrol gear (not Personal Gear) to the assigned campsite. TheTrailer and Tow Vehicle will then be parked at the JadelCenter parking lot. All personal gear should be hiked in if atall possible. Other vehicles will be parked at the main entryParking Field.

For main road accessible NW and SW campsites, thetrailer can initially be brought to the site and patrol gearquickly removed and the trailer and tow vehicle broughtback to Jadel parking.

For campsites SE-F, SE-G, SE-H, and SE-I arrangementsneed to be made to have the Tow vehicle and TroopTrailer parked immediately at Jadel lot where a “Gator”or similar vehicle will take the Patrol gear from the TroopTrailer to the site. This is due to the very narrow andsandy “road” to these sites.

For secondary road accessible sites SE-A, SE-B, SE-C,SE-D, and SE-E the trailer can initially be brought to thesite and patrol gear quickly removed but it must berealized that getting a tow vehicle and trailer in and outcan be difficult due to very narrow access and need to turnaround in SE-B (for SE-A and SE-B) or turn around inSE-D (for SE-C, SE-D, and SE-E). Trailers and towvehicle need to quickly be brought back to Jadel.
