New Ideas for Spring Camporee

We are trying to switch things up a little bit and to create a Spring Camporee your Scouts will talk about for the rest of the year!  We have three ideas:

1.     Host a traditional, patrol-focused Spring Camporee in Carroll County (with support from local community partners and businesses).  The tentative theme is “Are you Tougher Than a Boy Scout?”

2.     Host a combination Spring Camporee/Service Weekend at Broad Creek Memorial Scout Reservation.  Ideally:

·       Camp program areas (archery, rifle, shotgun, COPE, etc.) would be open and staffed for patrol use

·       Council and camp representatives would be on hand to encourage Troops to consider BCMSR for weekend outings and summer camp

·       Teams of adults from attendee Troops – with logistical support and planning – would spend Saturday renovating and improving camp.  (This is where we tap into the “skilled” labor pool of Troop parents and local businesses.)

·       Scouts would spend a portion of the day completing a service project to improve camp – (but the majority of their day would be focused on inter-patrol and inter-troop competition events).

3.     Host a recruiting event in Carroll District (like the old “Scouting Expo” at the Timonium Fairgrounds) to encourage Boy Scout recruiting
