LEADER S GUIDE Pioneering April 6,7,8-2018 Camporee Leader s Guide (rev. 1) Page 1 of 20

Camporee Leader s Guide (rev. 1) Page 2 of 20

Introduction Welcome to the Camporee. We are very glad that you will be participating. A Camporee is many things - camping fun for scouts, the thumping of hundreds of feet on the way to an evening campfire, and the smell of charcoal heating a Dutch oven with cobbler bubbling inside. It's the patter of rain on many tents at night. It's the ripple of windblown flags in the morning sun. It's catching the idea of teamwork in a patrol. Camporees serve several purposes in Scouting, including: Providing opportunities for patrols to compete with other patrols from their troop and from other troops, applying leadership, creativity, and Scout skills Providing opportunities for adult leaders to gauge the function of their patrols and youth leadership and to observe how other troops operate Providing examples of how events and activities should be planned and run Providing a solemn ceremony to call out honor campers for membership in the Order of the Arrow To have fun in the outdoors! Help Wanted This camporee is planned and conducted by adult and youth volunteer Scouters. We believe that many mouths make the best ideas and that many hands sharing the work make it easier for us all. We need your help. Please consider participating in the planning meetings or give your ideas to the camporee committee members well before the event. If you have any youth or adult leaders that find themselves with free time at the camporee, please help us find them a place to help out with an activity or in a support role. We need help with the following activities, and possibly others. Check-in and Check-out Traffic and parking control Cracker Barrel hosting Campsite inspections Patrol activities oversight Campfire setup and program Scout s Own chaplain support Code of Conduct Participation in our camporee requires only a few rules: Youth Protection and Guide to Safe Scouting The Scout Oath and Scout Law Leave-No-Trace Ethics and the Wilderness Code Fire Safety, Tote-n-Chip, and Cyber Chip Follow applicable laws and restrictions Use of tobacco products within view of Scouts is prohibited by BSA rules. Use of open flames may be restricted based on local or state-wide weather restrictions. Adults needing to partake should retire to their vehicles. Failure to comply with these rules may result in the individual or the unit being asked to leave the camporee event. Camporee Leader s Guide (rev. 1) Page 3 of 20

Fees and Costs The fee for camporee is $20 per participant. Camporee staff members pay $10. Fees will be collected at check-in. Checks or cash only please. We try to keep the fee as low as possible. However, some expenses are required, such as insurance, site fees, program supply costs, recognition costs, etc. And for that price we try to include a few reasonably priced goodies, including snacks for the leadership cracker barrel and collectable patches. We encourage all units to ensure that no participant is excluded due to lack of funds through unit fund-raising opportunities as part of your unit s annual plan. Limited camperships are available. Email or speak to the camporee chairman for more details. Email to rpcox@knology.net Campsites are first come-first served. Units that pre-register before March 24 will be allowed to pick their campsite on a space available basis. Contact Randall Cox at rpcox@knology.net for available sites. Note that Campsites: Coosa, Arrowhead, Ute and Arapaho are reserved for staff. The parade field will also be used for overflow camping as necessary. Camporee Theme The theme of this camporee is Pioneering. The activities may include elements of the pioneering merit badge handbook Be Prepared. Each troop shall provide their rope and timbers. Patrols should bring no less than 8 poles that are approximately 72" tall and 1 1/2" in diameter, as well as 6 coils of rope 120" long. Troops are encouraged to bring more poles and ropes to build an awesome gateway and camp gadgets. Camporee Location The camporee will be held at Camp Westmoreland, off of Highway 72, near Florence, Alabama. See the map on page 2. Camp Westmoreland has camper friendly amenities. There is a bath house, with hot water and restrooms. Water is available at most campsites, and in the field by the main building. No sewer, or electrical services in campsites. All trash must be taken out or placed in the dumpster behind the kitchen. Waste water shall be disposed of on-site following BSA policies. Ground fires are permitted only in pre-existing fire rings. Units may provide camp stoves, back packing stoves, gas grills or other portable cooking capabilities. Above ground fires such as barrel halves or pan fires are acceptable, however, all ashes and debris must be taken out. Units will provide their own fuels and fire protection equipment. BSA fire safety standards will be enforced. Electronic Communications Like a sharp Scout knife, today s smart phones can be great tools. We encourage Scouts to use all of their resources to best enjoy the camporee experience. Scouts may want to look up that cobbler recipe or use that astronomy app. We encourage Scouts to take pictures of their friends having great fun and post them on-line to share the fun of Scouting with their friends (use the hashtag #BSAcamping). However, like all tools, they can be misused. We expect unit leaders to monitor smart phone use to ensure that phone use does not detract from the Camporee Leader s Guide (rev. 1) Page 4 of 20

camporee experience. Since camporees are in less developed areas, cell phone and internet access is not guaranteed. The camporee staff may use hand-held Family Radio Service (FRS) or General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) radios for communications. Youth and adult leaders are invited to bring their FRS/GMRS radios if they anticipate working with the staff. Radio settings will be announced at the cracker barrel meeting on Friday night. Units desiring to use these radios for their own purposes are asked to use different frequencies than those used by camporee staff. Inexpensive FRS/GMRS radios are available at many sporting goods and electronics stores. Note that FRS radios may be used without a license, but GMRS radios require an FCC license for legal use. See the radio packaging for more information. The camporee staff will monitor the National Weather Service broadcasts for warnings of severe weather. Unit leaders will be informed if severe weather will require adjusting the program or departure from the site. We request the unit leaders cell phone number for this reason. Uniforms Full field Scout uniforms should be worn by all Scouts and Scouters during arrival and departure, color ceremonies, campfire and OA callout, and Scout s Own. Activity uniforms may be worn during patrol competitions, games, and service projects. Arrowmen are encouraged to wear their sashes when appropriate. Registration We encourage all units to register as soon as possible with an approximate number of youth and adult participants. We use this information to order patches, snacks, and finalize plans for activities. Please register as soon as you can with your best estimate of attendance. Units may register for camporee with the Camporee Registration form at http://talakto.org/wpcontent/uploads/2017/03/camporee-form.pdf or the form at the back of this document. Please complete the document then email it to rpcox@knology.net Arrival, Parking, and Equipment The camporee sign on Highway 72 West can be difficult to find, for new campers and drivers, so use the map and directions below. Units will be directed to the parking area, where the Scouts and their equipment may be unloaded. Scouts should prepare to hike the short distance between the parking area and their camping area to help them prepare for more lengthy backpacking experiences. Scouts may use backpacks or wagons to transport their gear. One tow vehicle and trailer will be allowed to go to the camping area. Units will be allowed to select fixed campsites based on order of early registration. As campsites fill, the parade ground will be used camping. Camping style will be in Jamboree style, with 40 x 60 feet spaces for most troops. All parking shall be in the designated parking area only. Minimizing vehicles in the camping area improves the outdoor experience for all, improves safety, and reduces damage to the unimproved ground. Remember, one tow vehicle/trailer, only, may remain in the camp site. Check-In Since units may have diverse scheduling constraints due to work schedule coordination or religious obligations, units may check in on Friday evening or Saturday morning. See the general schedule. Upon arrival at the camporee site, the unit must send a youth and adult leader to the check-in tent in front of the main building. To participate in camporee, units must have the following: 1. At least one youth leader. 2. At least two-deep adult leadership. All leaders with current Youth Protection training. At least one leader with current first aid and CPR training (available through University of Scouting or your local Red Cross). Camporee Leader s Guide (rev. 1) Page 5 of 20

It is recommended that at least one leader have BSA Weather Hazards training (available through my.scouting.org). 3. BSA Tour and Activity Plans are not required for camporee, but are always a good idea to help make your trip successful. The Plans can be downloaded from http://www.scouting.org/filestore/pdf/680-014.pdf 4. Current BSA medical forms for all participating youth and adults. Units will keep the forms. The BSA form is available at: http://www.scouting.org/filestore/healthsafety/pdf/680-001_ab.pdf 5. Roster of participating youth and adults, including points of contact in case of emergency. Units keep one copy and provide one copy to the camporee registrar at check-in. See the forms below. 6. Order of the Arrow Callout Ceremony Roster form. 7. Payment of camporee fees. Checks or cash are acceptable. Credit card processing is not available. 8. Planned departure time. Saturday evening or Sunday morning? At check-in, units will receive the following: 1. Directions to the camping and parking areas 2. Invitation to Cracker-barrel leadership meeting 3. List of activities, location map, and schedule 4. Two evaluation forms. One should be filled out by the youth, and one by the adults. These will be required upon check-out. 5. Campsite check-out checklist. A Scout is Clean and we want to be good stewards of the camping areas. Units will fill out the form as they prepare for departure. Visitors Visitors for the day are welcome at our camporee. Why not invite that new Webelo or friend who may want to join your troop? Maybe invite a veteran Scouter to see how Scouting is done now. Invite your old Scout Master to the cooking contest. Visitors must be invited by a unit and should stay with the unit members during their stay. All visitors must check in and check out at the camporee leadership site. Leadership Meeting and Cracker Barrel On Friday evening, we encourage all units to send at least one youth and adult leader to the leadership meeting. At this meeting, we will review the following: Update of schedules and activities Details of patrol competitions and games, including schedules and locations Details on campfire participation and unit contributions Requests for OA elections and collection of callout rosters if not turned in a check in Opportunity to volunteer to help with Scouts-Own Radio usage settings Weather updates and safety review Camporee Leader s Guide (rev. 1) Page 6 of 20

Patrol Activities are BYOR and P (Bring Your Own Rope and Poles) Check out how prepared your patrol is in the skills of Pioneering. Can you meet the challenge? Some will be for scores and some just for fun. Patrols should bring no less than 8 poles that are approximately 72" tall and 1 1/2" in diameter, as well as 6 coils of rope 120" long. Troops may bring more poles and ropes to build an awesome gateway and camp gadgets. Educate (timed event) 1. Knot-tying game 2. Lashing game 3.

NOTE: ARROWMEN WHO HAVE RECENTLY CONDUCTED THEIR ORDEAL ON MARCH 3 WILL BE RECOGNIZED AS WELL AS CANDIDATES WHO HAVE BEEN ELECTED BY THEIR TROOPS THIS YEAR. Our campfire will be led by the members of the Order of the Arrow. Each unit is encouraged to offer to lead a song, put on a skit, or tell a funny or solemn story. Youth leaders should contact the OA VC of Fellowship before dinner to check out their offering and get their position in the campfire schedule. The BSA Campfire Program Planner form is located at http://www.scouting.org/filestore/pdf/33696.pdf and is below in this document. Campfire helpers will meet at the camporee headquarters at 6:20 pm.order of the Arrow Callout As part of the campfire, the Kaskanampo Chapter of Coosa Lodge offers a callout ceremony for newly elected candidates for the Order of the Arrow. This solemn ceremony will be remembered by the candidate Arrowman for the rest of his life. Please help keep the ceremony special. Units are encouraged to hold OA elections at least once a year. Procedures for conducting an election can be found at http://coosa50.org/resources/unit-resources/election-procedures. If necessary, OA elections can be conducted at camporee upon request. Please contact the Chapter before camporee or not later than during the cracker barrel leadership meeting. To help the callout run smoothly, units are encouraged to provide a list of the names of Scouts to be called out. See the Callout Roster below. This form will be collected at the cracker-barrel leadership meeting or you may contact VC Inductions Brendan Proaps (m.proaps@knology.net) with your list.a Scout Is Reverent Duty to God is part of Scouting. Camporee supports individual and unit needs for performing your duty to God. Camporee offers two check-in and two check-out times to accommodate all needs. There will be some activities on Sunday morning, but they are optional and will not be scored as part of any patrol competitions. While some units are very active in their religious activities, there are other Scouts who have little contact with religion. Scout s Own services are one way to offer an opportunity to all. Therefore we encourage all units to participate. Scouts are encouraged to wear their full field uniform. Camporee offers a non-denominational, Christian-oriented, simple religious service. Units are invited to conduct their own services should they need special content. If any unit will not participate in a Scout s Own, we request that they remain in their camp and maintain quiet so as not to disturb others. Troop Chaplains or anyone interested may help run the Scout s Own. Please bring this up at the cracker-barrel leader meeting. Check-Out Since units may have diverse scheduling constraints due to family schedule coordination or religious obligations, units may check out on Saturday evening or Sunday morning. See the general schedule. When ready to depart, the unit must ensure that the campsite is properly cleaned up and all participants, equipment, and trash are taken out. Use the campsite check-out checklist as a guide. Ask the youth and the adults to complete the evaluation forms. To check out, an adult or youth leader must take the campsite check-out checklist and the two evaluation forms to the Check-Out tent. Upon receipt of the paperwork, the unit will receive its patches, participation ribbon, etc. and may depart. Camporee Leader s Guide (rev. 1) Page 8 of 20
