Equipment
Bring normal car camping equipment.
Since this is a public troop activity, we prefer that the troop tents
be
used.
Uniforms
Class A uniforms are required for flag ceremonies and campfire. Scout
T-shirts
are preferred wear during activities.
Food and Water
Eat before leaving Friday night. It the O/A puts on its chili
dinner, that will be an option. The
patrols will organize four meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner Saturday
and breakfast Sunday.
Water is NOT readily available at the campsite, however the camporee
will be bringing in water buffaloes. The troop is expected to bring
water with them and to help conserve water while camping. If we use the
camporee water, we must supply your own containers for carrying it. We
will not use the camporee drinking water to put out campfires.
