At this year’s camporee local Scouts will compete in Powhatan’s version of an Escape Room! The itinerary for the weekend features escape room challenge stations, Merit Badges, and of course, winning the coveted Powhatan Cup!
There will be other activities too including hiking around the lake, merit badge opportunities (Astronomy, First Aid, Citizenship in the World, Fishing, etc.) , and Saturday night campfire. Get your skits ready!
Note: Scouts should eat dinner before arriving at St, Francis on Friday.
We will bring our trailer with all troop and patrol equipment, and as always, meals are planned and prepared by patrols. Patrols are responsible for Saturday breakfast, lunch and dinner. Scouts should remember to protect themselves from mosquitos and other bugs by bringing appropriate spray, as well as extra pairs of dry clothes. Rain gear is always a good idea — even if it doesn’t rain, it is great wind protection.
Cost There is a $45 fee for each scout and adult attending (event fee: $25, food and supply: $15, transportation:$5). The Transportation fee is waived for both scout and parent if the parent is driving.
Registration and payment is due by Wednesday, Sept. 18, 2019
