Commonly Asked Questions If you ve never been to a Camporee, this summary will be useful to you. New campers are certainly welcome! We re glad you re considering coming to the 2016 Pomo District Camporee! What is a Camporee? A Camporee is a camping event with boys from many Scout Troops and Webelos Packs/Dens. Each patrol/den camps with its Troop or Pack/Den and competes in different events using their scout skills, joining together for flag ceremonies and campfire. What is a Cracker Barrel? The Cracker Barrel is a meeting of the leaders from each unit--especially Scoutmasters, Webelos Den Leaders and Senior Patrol Leaders--that is held the Friday evening of Camporee. Updated Camporee information and questions will be answered. Please share this information with your patrols/dens. How does the competition work? Scouts sign up in patrols. Units with few boys can be combined with other units into competition patrols/dens. There are three levels of competition: 1 st yr Webelos; (BB-8); Scout-Second Class (X-Wing Fighters); and First Class-Eagle (Jedi s). There are 14 different events for Boy Scout Patrols, and 14 for Webelos Dens. Each patrol/den need to complete the required 6 events, as well as 6 of their favorite events to compete in. The events will be divided so that in the morning, the even numbered pass-cards will compete in the even numbered events and the odd numbered pass-cards will complete in the odd numbered events. In the afternoon they will switch. We encourage each troop & patrol to get in the spirit of the theme, The Council Rises Up. Show your spirit with your Starship Docks (Troop gateways), patrol outfits, flag and yell. 1st, 2nd and 3 rd place ribbons are awarded in each level for each event, as well as the top three overall scores for the Jedi Masters, the top three spirit awards for the Chewbaccas and the top three scores for the Starship Docks. When do we check in or check out? Check in is Friday night or Saturday morning. All units should be pre-registered using online registration and on arrival be prepared to turn in a roster with a complete list of all youth and adults attending the camporee; their Participant Release of Liability & Special Activities Consent Forms; and current (2014) Medical forms, part A & B.

Email any registration questions to Tracy Good at goodscouter@sbcglobal.net. When you are ready to check out starting at 10 AM on Sunday, a staff member will check your campsite for cleanliness, collect your evaluations, return your medicals and issue the Camporee patches. Do we have to camp? No. We recommend that boys camp at least one night to learn about scout camping, but it is not required. The fee however is the same for all participants. What are the requirements for Webelos to camp overnight? Each Webelos Den is encouraged to camp overnight under the supervision of a trained Webelos leader while adhering to B.S.A. health and safety and youth protection guidelines. All Webelos Dens need to bring their own food, and do their own cooking unless they have been invited to eat with a Boy Scout Troop. There will be an assigned area for the Webelos to camp. How do we handle food? Each unit brings its own food. You won t need to carry your gear very far. You may need to make several trips if you re not set up for backpacking. You may use hand-trucks, carts, etc. for transporting gear, but personal vehicles will remain in the parking area at all times. Please do not bring disposable paper plates, cups and silverware. Each person should bring mess kits and wash up in the unit site. How is the Scoutmaster Chili Cook-off & SPL Cornbread Cook-off run? We invite a Scouter from each unit to come prepared to compete in our Chili Cook-off and a Youth Leader from each unit to come prepared to compete in our Dutch oven Cornbread cook-off. All cooking must be done in competition area. You will need to bring your all of your own ingredients/pots/stoves/cooking equipment. We will have hot coals and a special area set up for you.
