PROGRAM FEATURES The camporee theme is understanding the Civil War in a current context. We will have host of over 50 re-enactors that will be dressed and living as soldiers and civilians would have during the 1860's. This will be an educational opportunity to learn both the history of this time of our country and the way of life for many in that time period. Of particular interest will be the resourcefulness and problem solving mentality of many individuals living during this time. Without the access to many of our modern conveniences people had to learn to solve problems on their own with limited access to specialists. These skills are not just to be observed, but we hope they will teach scouts how to survive and use the materials around them to solve complex problems. Units will be grouped into Companies and rotate through various stations throughout the day on Saturday. There is some time during dinner prep for scouts to revisit stations and ask additional questions. The skills learned throughout the day will be tested in a jeopardy-style game on Saturday night. PROGRAM STATIONS Medicine -- learning about medical practices used during the civil war Photography -- Snapshots of history Cavalry -- A day in the life of a civil war cavalry Drill -- Drill, drill, drill Uniform & Equipment -- learn about what the uniforms designated as well as the equipment available to soldiers.

6 OPTIONAL COMPETITIONS OUTDOOR COOKING COMPETITION At dinner time on Saturday, each unit will be asked to submit a dish with the period appropriate materials provided using the skills taught during the day. Judges will visit your campsites around 6:00pm to taste. The materials given are designed to be a meal for your unit but please supplement as desired as period food is not everyone's favorite meal. Prizes will be awarded for best meals. Pre-CAMPFIRE COMPETITION--Prior to the Saturday night campfire (at 7:00), we will meet to host a jeopardy-style game where scouts will compete with the knowledge gained during the day to answer questions. Prizes will be awarded for top units. CAMPFIRE -- We would like to encourage each unit to present a skit and a song to the Saturday night campfire. PROGRAM SCHEDULE
