Camporee Information

A camporee is many things - camping fun for boys, the thumping of hundreds of feet on the way to an evening campfire, and the blue smoke from fires cooking stew or ham and eggs.  It's the patter of rain on many tents at night. It's the ripple of wind­blown flags in the morning sun.  It's catching the idea of teamwork in a patrol.  It's learning to carry out an order you don't really like.

Camporees are held on a council or district basis.  They may be held at any time of the year.  Camporee programs may include contests and demonstrations of outdoor Scouting skill as well as campfires, games, and field events.  These activities can show Scouting at its best.

GNFC 100th Anniversary Camperall - Old Fort Niagara Registration
