Spring Camporee
March 17-19 Reserve the Dates & Volunteer needed!
Units -- please review your calendar and reserve that weekend for the Camporee.
|
Spring Camporee. March 17-19, Rancho Los Mochos
|
Mission Peak District is excited to be holding a spring camporee for the first time since 2019. For those of you who are familiar with Fall Camporee for the past several years, we are planning several changes that we hope you will like.The first, and maybe most important is that we want to make this as youth led an event as possible. Youth will select, run, and score as many of the events as possible.
|
That means we need to recruit a youth staff.Those interested in applying for youth staff should attend a zoom meeting on January 19, at 7:00 PM at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86421271302?pwd=SXRpdXBlV0I5S3d6cyttZ2JENzNqUT09SPLs and ASPLs are encouraged to attend the meeting.

Registration will be open soon!

Our Mission Peak District has received a special invitation to come out to see an official NHL hockey game all together in the same section! Come out in your finest Class A uniform and come cheer on the Sharks as they go against the New York Islanders on the ice. Normally around $60 dollars, these special discounted tickets are available now for purchase and has the option to include a Scout Night patch.
|
On top of all this fun, a percentage of the sales goes to our Mission Peak District and if we have over 100 MP scouts come out for the night, we have been invited to go out on the ice at the end of the game for a large aerial picture of our scouts! Everyone and anyone are welcome to join us so make sure to invite your family and friends to this great adventure on the ice!
