Wild West District Camporee

GENERAL INFORMATION

The cost of the Camp-O-Ree will be $10.00 (includes a patch. Patches will be ordered on completion of camp for paid participants, extra patches can be ordered and must be on the roster) for all registered Boy Scouts and registered Adult Leaders.

Troop Roster will be turned in to the District Outdoor Committee at headquarters no later than Friday evenings at Cracker Barrel.

Scoutmaster, please bring water with you. There will be access to water near the camp area.

Only ONE campfire per troop. Campfires must be elevated. Each Troop should bring firewood. We urge all unit leaders to instruct their scouts not to cut live trees in the area.

The following should not be brought to camp: electronic devices, alcoholic beverages, controlled substances, and firearms.

The Friday night cracker barrel will be held for the meeting of the Leaders and SPL to turn in the troop rosters and monies. The cracker barrel will be a potluck.

It is expected that all troops participate in Sunday’s Scouts' Own services. A Scout is Reverent.

The District Outdoor Committee will have the final say in the postponement of the Camp-O-Ree due to inclement weather. If bad weather comes during the Camp-O-Ree, and a troop decides to vacate the premises, a leader from that troop must check out with the camp committee. This is to be certain that all scouts and leaders are accounted for.

In an emergency, a car horn will be sounded three (3) times and leaders will report to the headquarters tent for further instructions.
