3 GENERAL INFORMATION In keeping with the 100 th Anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America as observed in 2010, 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, 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 Saturday competitive events. Traditionally, boys in Scout Troops have competed and learned Scouting Skills in their Patrols. This was the way in which Lord Baden-Powell expected the Scouts to learn how to be good Scouts and to lead. With this in mind, this Camporee will emphasize two of these traditions, namely the Patrol Method and Scout Skills. Patrol Method The Patrol Method will be utilized in all phases of the Camporee. The boys will work as a self standing Patrol in the areas of Camping, Cooking, and Scout Skills competitions. This will test the Patrol s ability to work as a team and also test the Patrol leadership. This is not designed to show failure but rather serve to provide a learning experience in leadership and teamwork. Due to this requirement, adult participation with the Scouts or coaching of the Scouts will not be allowed. However two Patrol Adults will be required to register and camp with each Patrol to ensure safety. Scout Skills A series of Scout Skills will be tested in friendly competitions among patrols of similar age groupings. These skills will be fundamental time tested Scouting Skills including: 1. Orienteering 2. Fire Building 3. Pioneering 4. First Aid 3

4 5. Cooking 6. Knot Tying 7. Problem Solving Please note that all phases of this Camporee are based on the Scout Skills learned from Tenderfoot through First Class ranks. Even the Patrol Preparedness portion of the Check-in where the Scouts must show that their gear is properly packed and proper gear is accessible is based upon the first basic requirement for the Tenderfoot rank. Please carefully read this Camporee packet to fully understand the rules, the competition aspects, and the judging format. The Patrols that prepare and practice will do far better than a Patrol that shows up and is confronted with the judging and competitions for the first time. NOTE: It is very important to have everyone immediately get off on the correct footing as the Camporee begins and judging occurs starting Friday night. Thus it is VITAL that everyone carefully read, understand, and follow the 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 utilizing their 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 when they are allowed to do it on their own without an adult showing them every step of the way. In fact, that is often how they best learn as stated by numerous people including Lord Baden Powell himself! Many Scoutmasters at the 2014 Camporee said they were impressed and even amazed at how well their Scouts did on their own without adult help and that it proved the worth of allowing the Scouts to function fully within the Patrol Method. 4

5 So while it is often extremely hard to allow the Scouts to do it on their own we as adults must do so. Thus the Camporee Staff upon seeing adults helping their Scouts, will gently ask that the adults stand back and let the Scouts do it. Of course, when safety is involved, we will ask the adults to make sure the situation is safe, but that should be it. The best way that adults can help is to in the weeks and months before the Camporee, have the Troop and Patrols learn their Scout Skills and how to work together as a Patrol utilizing the Patrol Method. It is amazing what the Scouts can do when they are properly trained and then allowed to use their training! 5

6 SAFETY 1. Weather and Emergency Preparedness o Should threatening weather or another emergency dictate, all Patrols will be called to the main assembly point near the Jadel Center by THREE 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 Office o This is directly to the left upon entering the main entry of the Jadel Center 3. Medications o Individual medications are to be handled by the Patrol Adults following their own Troop s procedures 4.Medical Forms o One of the Patrol Adults should have the medical forms for their Patrol members at least at their campsite in case of emergency need 5. Emergency Assistance o The Camporee Staff will have radios to be able to contact the Camporee Director 6

7 REGISTRATION 1. Registration will start May 1, 2015 and end on September 25, 2015 utilizing the District website registration tool. Full fees must be paid as part of registration. The main 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 (first come first serve) so that upon arrival there is no confusion about camping location. See attached Camp Crown map NOTE: Since the Camporee campsites are based upon existing Camp Crown campsites (either full or sub-divided), it is strongly urged that the Troop be familiar with the Campsite they are reserving in order to make an informed decision that will suit their Patrol. This is because we know that changes of campsite in the dark after Check-in are very hard 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 Camporee problems, we must STRICTLY enforce it in So this means that your Troop should plan in advance for their participation and thus registration. 3. Registration Group Each patrol must register as a Patrol since they are competing as such (see Participation Eligibility for size requirements). This means the full complement of named members must be registered prior to registration close. We also MUST have Scout names for each registration, we cannot allow Scout A and Scout B this year. Should one member not be able to attend, an alternate for that member may be applied at Check-In. Each patrol must also have two adults registered with the patrol to serve as judges and/or Camporee Assistants as well as ensuring safety in and for their Patrol. 7

8 4. Fees Due- The fees will be $12 per adult or Scout up until August 21, After that and until registration closes on September 25, 2015, the fees will increase to $15 per adult or Scout to encourage earlier registration to better allow for Camporee planning purposes. Full fees for all participants must be paid on-line at registration and no refunds will be available. 5. Campsite Selection- As a part of the on-line registration process, each Patrol must request a campsite by picking an available campsite from the registration listing and based upon the map of Camp Crown included with the registration materials on the calendar website and in this packet. The available campsites are updated immediately during the registration period to allow for first come first served campsite requests. Please pick a campsite that does not already have registrants. PLEASE NOTE the campsites have been selected and designated to be Patrol Sized to both accommodate the expected turn-out and to support the Patrol competition rather than the usual Troop Camping. In most cases a Camp Crown designated campsite has been subdivided into more than one Patrol campsite, for example NW-E-1 and NW-E-2 are two Patrol campsites within the NW-E designated campsite. This means that some of them are on the small side and so proper Patrol spacing is critical to enable everyone to camp and compete at Camp Crown. Troops that wish to register more than one patrol can choose adjacent campsites if they are available. However, two Patrol Adults per Patrol are still required. 6. Camporee Staff Adults who wish to attend the Camporee other than as Patrol Adults can volunteer to be Camporee staff and will have a $5 fee assessed. This fee will include all meals and they will camp separately from the Patrols due to space limitations. The number of Camporee Staff will be limited and will be first come, first served on the registration website. The Camporee Staff will be asked to assist in one of the following areas based upon the needs in that area: 1. Logistics/ Judging 8

9 2. Food and Safety These adults should register as Camporee Staff in the area of their choice and will be required to work staff functions as assigned during the weekend and to potentially help part of a weekend before the Camporee. 9

10 CHECK-IN 1. Time- Check-in will be between 5:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., Friday October 9, 2015 at the Shelter. If possible, arriving early will help 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 logistics constraints. If your Patrol must arrive after 8:30p.m. on Friday night, come to the Shelter but Check-in points will not be provided. 2. Arrival Upon arrival at Camp Crown, vehicles will be directed to the large Parking Field by the entrance. No vehicles are allowed beyond the Parking Field except Tow Vehicles with Troop Trailers. - 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 at the 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 parking field. This means that Scouts who rode with the Trailer Tow vehicle must get out at the Parking Field and obtain their Personal gear before the Tow Vehicle can go to their campsite. - When their Patrol is all together in the Parking Field (other than late comers, see section 6-Late Check-in) they will carry their personal gear and walk as a Patrol to the Shelter (see Camp Crown map). 10

11 4. Forms- Registration forms and fee payments for a patrol and for Patrol adults should be completed through on-line registration. Copies of the registration form should be made upon registering on line and MUST be brought to check-in at the Camporee by the Patrol Leader. 5. Patrol Leader The Patrol Leader will check-in their Patrol upon arrival of their full patrol. This includes three judging phases (see Check-in Organization, Patrol Preparedness, and Uniform Inspection ). The Patrol Leader will be in charge of turning in and verifying his patrol's registration. Once all members of the Patrol have assembled in the Parking Area, the Patrol will hike with their Personal Gear to the Shelter for Check-in. NOTE: the three phases of the Check-in are worth 30 points out of the total of 150 points for the Camporee. Please make sure the Patrol and Patrol Leader are aware of this. 6. Late Check-in The Camporee Staff is aware that some of our Senior Scouts might have sports or HS Marching Band duties on Friday October 9 th and will not be able to arrive with their Patrol Friday night. In order to accommodate that, they will be allowed to arrive Saturday morning before 10am. Their Patrol Leader will need to note their late arrival upon Friday night check-in to the judges and the late arrival Scout(s) will need to then check-in at the Shelter on Saturday morning no earlier than 7am. 7. Campsites- Patrols will be provided a map and their designated campsite they selected at registration as they arrive and check-in. A Camp Crown map is included in this packet as well. 11

12 8. Vehicles- To minimize vehicular traffic and Get Back to Traditions, only one vehicle is allowed to pull a Troop Trailer containing Patrol gear (not Personal Gear) to the assigned campsite. The Trailer and Tow Vehicle will then be parked at the Jadel Center parking lot. All personal gear should be hiked in if at all possible. Other vehicles will be parked at the main entry Parking Field. For main road accessible NW and SW campsites, the trailer can initially be brought to the site and patrol gear quickly removed and the trailer and tow vehicle brought back to Jadel parking. For campsites SE-F, SE-G, SE-H, and SE-I arrangements need to be made to have the Tow vehicle and Troop Trailer parked immediately at Jadel lot where a Gator or similar vehicle will take the Patrol gear from the Troop Trailer to the site. This is due to the very narrow and sandy 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 the site and patrol gear quickly removed but it must be realized that getting a tow vehicle and trailer in and out can be difficult due to very narrow access and need to turn around in SE-B (for SE-A and SE-B) or turn around in SE-D (for SE-C, SE-D, and SE-E). Trailers and tow vehicle need to quickly be brought back to Jadel. 12

14 BRIEFING AT HQ (Friday evening at 8:30p.m.) The Camporee will hold a briefing at the Jadel Center at 8:30pm Friday evening for the Patrol Leaders and one of the Patrol Adults. Along with the Staff providing information and answering questions, we would like the Patrol Leaders to consider: Volunteering their Patrol for Saturday morning flag raising Volunteering their Patrol for Saturday evening flag lowering Volunteering their Patrol for Sunday morning flag raising Volunteering their Patrol for a skit at the Saturday evening Camp Fire A Patrol Adult for each Patrol will be assigned at the Briefing to be a judge for another Patrol at the Saturday evening dinner. Instructions will be provided. 14

15 ABILITY GROUPS Patrols will compete based on their level against other patrols of the same level if at all possible based on registration. There will be 2 classifications for which a patrol can register. These two levels are: Regular Patrol and Leadership Patrol and awards will be presented by ability group. Please Note: where possible, a Camporee Patrol should be a normally comprised patrol in a Troop to encourage the Patrol Method. See Participation Eligibility following. 1. Regular- This will be a basic patrol that is composed of junior rank Scouts. Regular Patrols can have no more than one Senior Rank (Star, Life, or Eagle) Scout in their Patrol. 2. Leadership- This is a patrol made up of older/ veteran/ higher ranking scouts that should know their way around Scouting. Patrols that have two or more Senior Rank (Star, Life, and Eagle) Scouts must register as a leadership patrol. The competitions for the Leadership Patrols may include extra challenges or just be tougher in nature to push the Leadership Patrols to their maximum potential. 15

16 PARTICIPATION-ELIGIBILITY 1. SMALL PATROLS (4 OR LESS ATTENDING) - Patrols with less that five members attending the Camporee should be combined in some manner with other members in the same troop to support the required minimum of 5 members per patrol. Patrols must be in the 5 (minimum) to 8 (maximum) member size to be allowed to compete. The patrols so combined must work and be classified as a patrol as defined above. If a combined patrol will be used at any time during the Camporee, it must function as one patrol in every phase of the Camporee. If a troop plans to have a combined patrol, register all scouts to be in the combined patrol as a single patrol under a name chosen by that patrol. Two adults must be registered with each patrol as a Patrol Adult. These two adults will be utilized by the Camporee staff to be judges in the competitions or Scout Craft. A. Awards and other recognition - For the combined patrol, awards and other recognitions will be as if they were a patrol per the defined ability group and only one set or ribbons and awards will be given to the combined patrol. B. Patrols - A Patrol must be a group of Scouts that functions as a normal patrol in that troop or has been combined solely as noted due to otherwise being of small patrol size. The Patrol is not to be a group of Scouts that has been put together solely to do well in the competition. 16

17 2. ELIGIBILITY - Patrols must properly register and pay fees, stay at least two nights, leave a clean campsite, compete, and obey all camping regulations to be eligible for any awards. 3. REGISTERED SCOUTS - All Scouts and Adult Scouters must be currently registered in Scouting. 17

18 2015 CAMPOREE REGULATIONS 1. Adult Participation and Assistance The purpose of this Camporee is to allow the Scouts to see how well they can function on their own. Due to this requirement, adult participation with the Scouts or coaching of the Scouts will not be allowed. Patrol Adults (or other adults along) will not be judged in Check-in or any other point area. The Patrol Adults main purpose in being with the Patrol is safety and one of the adults will be asked to serve as a Cooking judge (Saturday evening meal).

20 COMPETITION and ACTIVITIES The intent of the Camporee is to allow the patrols to show their use of the Patrol Method and their ability to utilize Scout Skills included in the requirements for Tenderfoot through First Class ranks. All of the Camporee judging and competition is based upon these Scout Skill and Patrol Method aspects. These aspects are broken down into four main areas that will be evaluated as follows: Patrol Method/ Organization 30 points 1. Check-in Organization 10 pts 2. Patrol Preparedness 10 pts 3. Uniform inspection 10 pts Camping 30 points 4. Campsite and Tent Set up 10 pts 5. Personal Gear Storage and Protection 10 pts 6. Campsite Improvement 10 pts Cooking and Sanitation 40 points 7.

Maximum amount of points=50 pts. Only the Patrol is judged and can receive points. The Patrol Adults are not judged and should not aid the Patrol. However, while the Patrol Adult is not judged, they should still strive to wear the full uniform and provide a good example to the Scouts. 20

21 COMPETITIVE EVENTS It is the intent of the Camporee Committee that each patrol participates in each of the following Scout Skill based field events on a competitive basis. The events will test the Scout Skills of the Patrol Members and the use of the Patrol Method by the Patrol. The competitive events will be held from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm, Saturday. Each patrol will be given a schedule of when they will be at each station. Patrols will do their Competitive Events by ability group as previously defined. This allows each ability level to fairly compete against those of similar ability level. The events will be judged by inter-patrol competition with the winner, second and third place patrols receiving point awards for each period on each event. In the case of ties, if time permits, a runoff will be held between the tying parties at an event. If there is no time, both will receive the tying point award and no runner up award will be made. Materials will be furnished by the Camporee staff where indicated -- watch carefully for equipment that you or the troop running the event, will need to furnish.
