What Is a Camporee? A camporee is many things - camping fun for scouts, the thumping of hundreds of feet on the way to an evening campfire, and the blue smoke from fires cooking stew or ham and eggs. 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. It's learning to carry out an order you don't really like. A camporee can be a perfect showplace for the Scouting program and, therefore, go far beyond just being a gathering of scouts. A camporee starts with the recognition that a patrol is the basic (camping) unit. The patrol demonstrates its very best camping techniques and shares its experiences with other patrols. The camporee involves the type of equipment that can be carried in a pack by scouts and can be set up entirely by scouts. The equipment thus setup enables the scouts to be completely selfsufficient for a self-reliant experience over a period of 2 or 3 days. Camporees are held on a council or district basis. They may be held at any time of the year. Camporee programs may include contests and demonstrations of outdoor Scouting skill as well as campfires, games, and field events. These activities can show Scouting at its best. Camporees can help councils and districts meet part of their goals. They stimulate overnight camping; they help units to attain part of their annual 10 days and nights of camping; and they help prepare units for long-term camping. Camporees thus help units to earn the Quality Unit Award. Crescent Bay Camporee Our Camporee has grown to be one of the largest in the Council, with regular attendance of over 500 people! We include Webelos from the District and have a special program designed just for them. We also pair them with Troops from their neighborhood, so they can interact with older Scouts and witness the Patrol Method in action. We also have special opportunities for our District Venture Crews to interact and get to know each other, and share ideas. Our Camporee also showcases the Order of the Arrow Chapter in our District, Heyoka. The Order of the Arrow is our Honor Society within Scouting, providing members with an opportunity to deepen their commitment to the movement through service and adventure. There are several special ceremonies held each year at Camporee including the Call out of new members, elected by their troops for this honor, and the Brotherhood Ceremony for members who have served their troops for a period of 10 months since their membership began. Order of the Arrow also provides a Trading Post at Camporee, The Oasis, where they sell drinks and snacks as well as colorful sunglasses and other fun items to build patrol spirit. Page 6 of 36

First Aid Kim s Game EQUIPMENT Prepared question list (from Readyman and Fitness sections of Webelos Handbook) First aid items, other items (non first aid) 2 tarps Stopwatch EVENT Step One: First Aid items are laid out on a blanket. Patrols have 60 seconds to observe items on the tarp. At that point, cover up the items with second tarp and patrols have 3-5 minutes to record and classify the items they are able to remember. [Scouts earn a point for each correct item that is correctly categorized] Step Two: Question/situation cards are read by Camporee volunteer. Each patrol gets five basic questions and one bonus question. Patrol members elect one member as leader to answer questions. The patrol will discuss the answers before leader answers the questions. All answers should incorporate what should be done in the emergency situation read off the card and what first aid items could be used to help. [one point is earned for each correct answer] (all questions will be taken from the Readyman and Fitness sections of the Webelos book) Page 10 of 36
Giant Clove Hitch EQUIPMENT Stand-alone tree or post or willing volunteer with flat surrounding ground (about 10 foot radius) Large caliber 50-foot length of rope Stopwatch EVENT Patrol divides into two groups. Each group grasps an end of the rope. The ends of the rope thereafter cannot be let go. Around the post or tree, the group maneuvers as required to successfully complete a clove hitch. (Harder have two Webelos Scouts do blindfolded while rest of patrol verbally instruct on necessary steps to complete task.) Time will be recorded. CLOVE HITCH 1. Bring the rope end over and under a pole 2. Take the end around a second time, crossing over the first wrap to form the shape of an X 3. Bring the rope end around a third time and tuck under the X 4. Pull the end of the rope to tighten the hitch Page 11 of 36
Knots EQUIPMENT (2 sets): 1 wooden pole about 5-6 feet in length Sections of rope approximately 2-3 foot in length 2 stopwatches EVENT: Set up wooden pole horizontal above the ground so that it will be about chest level for a Scout. Hang 3 pieces of rope over the pole not tied but hanging loosely over the pole. The patrols line up and 1 Scout at a time takes his turn at trying to tie 3 basic knots correctly in the shortest amount of time. Knots Square Knot Clove Hitch Two Half Hitches These may be tied in any order. Timer will signal the Scout when to start. Scout must yell Finished when he thinks he has completed all 3 knots correctly. Penalty of 10 seconds will be assessed per knot if it is tied incorrectly. TOTAL time of each patrol will be added up after 6 Scouts have all tied the 3 knots. IF there are less than 6 Scouts then Scouts will have to perform twice till a TOTAL of 6 times have been completed. If a patrol has more than 6 Scouts then patrol should be divided into 2 groups. Scorers will then award scores as A and B Patrols. For example-snake patrol A scores 46 and Snake Patrol B scores 48. Page 12 of 36
Orienteering EQUIPMENT (2 sets): 5 orange cones or other recognizable land marker Index cards and pencils 2 stopwatches Extra Compass (to lend to any patrol that did not bring any can borrow one) EVENT: Start with cone #1 as the start home base. Spread cone #2 at a distance of about 20 paces away from cone #1. Continue to spread cones out in a random pattern until cone #5 is the last finishing point. Scouts will start at cone #1 and try to get a bearing with their compass to cone #2. After writing down their bearing the Scouts will head to cone #2 and then try to use their compass to get a bearing on cone #3. Repeat this process until getting final 4th bearing reading on cone #5. Each bearing will be worth a total of 25 points. Deductions will be taken as follows: (-1) point for every 2 degrees off in either direction. A MAXIUM of 10 points of deduction will be taken off per bearing point. The event is NOT a timed event but each patrol will be allowed a maximum of 20 minutes TOTAL to complete the event. If bearing can t be established then a total score of 15 points will be given per bearing to the patrol for showing effort of at least trying to use compass to get a bearing. Page 13 of 36

Person 1 and person 2 carry person 3. Then person 1 and person 3 carry person 2. Finally, person 2 and person 3 carry person 1. Instant prizes. Triangle Bandage Relay (*Each team needs one Scout neckerchief) Team equals one Patrol. Half the team is at the activity line and half is opposite them at the start line. On go the first in the group runs across the race area and ties an arm sling on the patient and then sits down. The patient then unties the sling and runs across the race area to the first person in that line and ties a sling on him and then sits down. Continue until all patrol members are sitting. Instant prizes. Gunny Sack Relay (*Each team needs two gunny sacks) Team equals one Patrol. Half the team lines up on the start line and the other half on the activity line. Each person in front is in a gunny sack. On go the person at the start line begins hopping across the race area to tag the front person at the activity line. That person then hops across the race area, gets out of the gunny sack and helps the next in line into the gunny sack. That person then hops across to tag the new front person in the opposite line and so on until all team members have hopped and are sitting down. Camping Cocoa Cup Relay (*Each team needs a camping cup filled with water) Team equals one Patrol. Half the team is at the activity line and half is opposite them at the start line. On go the first person in line on side A crosses the race area holding the camping cup of water. The cup is passed off to the first person in line B who carries it across the race area back to the next person in line A. This continues until all team members have carried the cup once and are sitting down. Team MUST finish with water in the cup! Page 14 of 36
River Jumper Equipment Tiles (carpet, cardboard or such) 1 per Webelos Scout plus one square start and finish lines 2 stopwatches Event Tiles are placed in a line on the ground behind a start line. Each patrol member stands on his tile facing the finish line. One tile is left unoccupied at the rear of the line. On signal, the extra tile is passed up to the head of the line. The first Webelos Scout places the tile down toward the goal line and steps onto it by moving the foot that is to the rear. Each Webelos Scout in the line advances by moving his rear foot to the now vacated tile in front of him. The final empty tile is passed forward and the process is repeated. Scoring Time is recorded. If a Scout steps off the tile, the entire patrol must start over with time still running. Page 15 of 36
Shelter Set-Up Equipment: Tarp TWO 6-foot lengths of rope Stakes 2 stopwatches Exemplar & measuring stick Procedure: Den begins gathered around fully assembled and erected tarp with stakes already driven in ground and end ropes correctly tied in order to observe model to be achieved. Patrol is instructed to work as a team to achieve best time and performance. Patrol then lines up in relay formation behind start line. As they watch, the tent is collapsed in place without modification other than the tied end ropes are removed and replaced with four un-joined 3 foot lengths of rope placed upon the top of the collapsed tent. The den is then instructed to, as a den, return the tent to its prior upright condition by joining the two ropes in their middle using a square knot. Next use a 2 half-hitch on either end to attach the lines to the trees. The team is to then cooperatively snug both ropes up to best straighten the tent spine to the prior near straight level. Once the team has accomplished the task to their satisfaction, all patrol members are to return behind the start line. Only when ALL have returned will time be stopped. Time will be recorded. A 15 second penalty will be added to the patrol time for each knot that is incorrectly tied. Page 16 of 36
Swamp Crossing Equipment ropes skateboards or large carpet square to sit on as sled with folded-over, taped edge to improve chances of staying on when being pulled marked river banks about 10-20 feet across (orange cones) 2 stopwatches Event The patrol lines up in relay formation. The patrol is told that they have reached the edge of a swamp (marked by ropes, rocks or sticks) and must get to the other side. One Scout is able to cross the ancient bridge before it falls apart. The rest of the patrol must be pulled across the swamp with the help of a rope. On signal, the first Scout will run to the other side and toss one end of the rope back across the river. The rope must land within reach of the second Scout. The second Scout ties a bowline low around his waist then sits on the raft and holds on as he is pulled across the river by only the first Scout. The second Scout will then quickly untie the knot and repeat the sequence by throwing the rope across the swamp to the next Scout in line. Any Scout falling into the swamp must return to far bank and repeat effort. The relay continues until the whole patrol has crossed the swamp. A 15 second penalty time will be added to the patrol time for each bowline that is incorrectly tied. Time will be recorded. Tying a Bowline Form a small loop (the direction is important), and pass the free or running end of the knot up through the loop, around behind the standing part of the rope, and back down through the loop. A common mnemonic for tying this knot is "The rabbit comes out of the hole, round the tree, and back down the hole again", where the hole is the small loop, and the rabbit is the running end of the rope.
