|
|
Spring Camporee
March 17-19 Reserve the Dates & Volunteer needed!
Units -- please review your calendar and reserve that weekend for the Camporee.
|
Mission Peak will hold a YOUTH run Spring Camporee March 17-19 at Rancho Los Mochos, Manzanita Camp. As a Scout run camporee, we need scouts of 1st class and above to take ownership and run the events. This is a great opportunity to expand your leadership skills and you will part of “Staff” at the event which means we will cook food for you and take care of the clean-up. We also need adults to work staff.
|
There is a meeting of the SPLs on Thursday January 19 for the Scouts to review the “suggested” events and to claim one or two events for the troop / crew to run. Typically, the event will only require 2-3 scouts to run an event so all other troop members can complete in the camporee.
|
Please contact Mr. Tom Kacinski at taks.equipment@comcast.net if you are interested in being on staff. We have scheduled an adult meeting on Jan 4 at 7PM to discuss the camporee. Please contact Tom as well if you are interested in helping.
