Welcome to the 2024 Triconda District Scouts BSA Camporee – The HIGHLAND GAMES!

The goal of the weekend is to offer unique and fun activities while providing a venue for like minded scouts to interact with one another on a friendly field of competition.

The objective for this Camporee is to relieve individual units from having to plan, organize, and host the games. This is so that all scouts can enjoy the activities together. To do this, the district has taken on the planning, organizing, and hosting activities, but to staff the event, we will rely on unit leaders to oversee event activities and functions.

We hope this also allows leaders to see other unit’s patrols in action and maybe take a note or two home with you to compliment your unit’s program.

The theme this year is The Highland Games with events and activities along the lines of traditional highland games with a touch of 18th century challenges. We’ve scoured the nation’s camporee events to find challenging highland events that can be accomplished by all scouts. Some events are feats of strength, some scoutcraft skills, some patrol activities, and some of individual marksman skills.

The events will be run as CLANS (Patrols). BE PREPARED to make some fast clan decisions as all events will require the participation of every clan member and some quick organizing and thinking. Remember, clan spirit is a big factor this year!

At the conclusion of Saturday’s events, we will have a Campfire. These are always a time of fun and laughter. Please encourage your scouts to have a skit or song prepared to join in on that fun.

If you have any questions or comments, let us know. We are here to help you. MAY THE BEST CLAN WIN!!!!!
