Goose Creek District 2022 Spring Camporee

Camp Highroad

Middleburg VA 20117
CAMPOREE DETAILS
An enemy camp is holding our firewood for ransom and agreed to release it to the spy team who can best demonstrate superior scout skills to overcome a series of patrol challenges. The spy teams (patrols) will earn points at each patrol challenge event, with additional points earned for patrols who perform skits at the evening campfire. This event is designed for Scouts BSA Troops, Venturing Crews or Explorer Posts.
The Camporee consists of two major events: a Patrol Challenge of several stations, and an Adventure Choice period for Scouts to explore challenging “High Adventure” program activities (additional fees apply). Each Unit will have an assigned period for each event, so that everyone will have equal opportunity for full participation.
REGISTRATION & PAYMENT
All participants must register and pay the Camporee Fee online thru this registration page. The Camporee fee is $29 each (all Youth and Adults) and includes all campsite and facility support costs. REGISTRATION CLOSES AT 7:00 PM, MARCH 20, 2022.
