CAMPOREE DETAILS

Get ready for an adventure, Scouts! The 2024 Goose Creek District Spring Camporee is here and it's going to be EPIC! Join us at Camp Highroad, Middleburg VA, from Friday, April 12th to Sunday, April 14th, 2024 for a weekend packed with thrilling outdoor games, cooking challenges, high-adventure activities, and unforgettable memories.

The theme for this year's Camporee is "Iron Chef!" You’ll have the opportunity to earn points in this theme category, plus gather other point totals competing in Patrol Challenges, patrol flag and yell contest, and final points performing skits and songs at the Saturday evening campfire.

This Leader Guide has the latest information about all Camporee activities, schedules, and requirements. Minor updates may be made in the days and weeks leading up to the event as we fine-tune the contests. Please share with all your Unit Leaders (Adult and Youth) and parents.

Saturday morning you will have the option to participate in a variety of Adventure Choice activities.  These include a High Ropes Course, Mountain Boarding, Rock Wall, Zip Line, and Team Challenge Course.  In addition to Adventure Choice activities we will offer Archery, and we aspire to offer Monkey Bridge and a cross cut saw competition.

Saturday afternoon will be focused on patrol games, competitions, and the Iron Chef cooking challenge.   Compete in each session to earn the most points and have your patrol come out on top!

We'll end the day with a campfire where you'll get to show off your patrol's creativity with skits and songs.  Campfire will also feature announcement of the winning patrols from the day’s activities.

This event is designed for Scouts BSA Troops and Venturing Crews, so rally your patrol and get ready to conquer the great outdoors! See you at Camp Highroad!
