Camporee Chief’s Welcome
Greetings Scouts and Scouters!
Welcome to the 2010 Blue Area Fall Camporee. Our theme this Fall is “A Century of
Skills”. This theme was chosen to commemorate both our heritage and the many
skills learned and practiced by both Scouts and Scouters during our history. This
camporee contains significant, perhaps dramatic changes to the normal format.
Events called “Patrol Challenges” will focus on the leadership skills of the Troop
Leadership Corps and the proficiency of the patrol members.
Competitive events for the patrols will consume much of the day Saturday. The
name of the individual “Patrol Challenges” and the instructions for successfully
completing the event will be given to the Senior Patrol Leaders at the Friday evening
Cracker Barrel. A major difference in this format is that the patrols will not return to
their campsites until the end of the day’s competition. Cooking lunch and the menu
will be a graded event. They will be going on a “patrol hike” and should “be
prepared” to meet many challenges.
The evening meal will be prepared by a “youth team” selected by the troop
leadership and consist of a maximum (6) Scouts. A start time and end time will be
in place. Upon completing the food preparation a “Team of Judges” will view the
results and assign a score. This “youth team” will be cooking the evening meal for
the entire troop. Therefore, prior planning, selecting a balanced menu, practice, will
all be factors that determine who is the “Top Troop”. We plan on setting up
individual cooking sites around the perimeter of the athletic field for this event.
Pre-registration is required. Units that have not pre-registered will not be competing
in the events and are not eligible for awards.
On behalf of the Camporee Committee, we hope you experience with the various
events is a positive one. We wish you well as you begin your preparations. We will
be discussing the event at upcoming Boy Scout Round Tables.
In the spirit of Scouting,
Hank Dierker Mark Beall Dave Kern

Events and Procedures
Patrol Challenge Events - Beginning at 08:45, or immediately following the
Saturday morning colors ceremony the “Competitive Patrol Events” competition
will commence. The first agenda item is inspection of each Scouts pack. Grading
will be based on the number of items as designated in the Camporee Guide that
are present.
Following the pack inspection each patrol will proceed as a group to the first
“Patrol Challenge Event of the day. Each patrol will be given a schedule that
specifies the sequence in which they will visit the various challenges. There will
be multiple stations at each challenge where several patrols will be working on
the tasks. It is the patrols responsibility to maintain control of the cards until
presented to the judging team at each individual Patrol Challenge station. Upon
completion of the challenge the judge will assign a score, initial, and collect the
card. The cards will then be turned over to the camporee headquarters for
verification and processing.
Each challenge will take no longer than 50 minutes to visit and complete. Patrols
will be given 10 minutes to proceed to the next station. Each event will be
explained in detail on the scorecard. It is the Patrol Leaders responsibility to read
and interpret the task, brief his patrol and take the necessary action to complete
the task.
Troop Campsites – will be evaluated for eco-friendliness (e.g. minimum use of
throw away materials, minimum trash generated, leave no trace techniques,
etc.).
Evening Meal – will be prepared by the units “Cook Team” with a maximum of
(6) youth members. The unit will determine the menu and method of preparing
the meal. The rules are:
The meal must be “ready to eat” by the designated cut off time.
The main dish item must be chicken. The entire meal can be prepared
using whatever cooking method or technique the unit wishes to use.
Judging Criteria – will include but not limited to cleanliness, food adequately
cooked, appearance, originality, finished within the prescribed time limits, and
overall performance of the cook team. The concept is to challenge the unit to
conceive, plan, practice, and execute a course of action that will allow youth
members develop their skills and leadership abilities.

Uniform Inspection Guidelines and Miscellaneous Items
The Friday evening uniform inspection will be held at the Bob Howard
Lodge. The BSA uniform inspection sheet will be used as the guide for the
inspection. The new uniform may present some challenges but judging will
be as consistent as possible.
PLEASE NOTE: Each Scout who brings a non-perishable food item to the
inspection can earn 10 bonus points. These items will be given to a local
food bank and should assist with the upcoming holiday season.
REMINDER, REMINDER, REMINDER
The patrols will not be returning to the campsite during the day. The noon
meal is prepared and consumed “on the trail”. Water is a major
consideration. We will have water points established so that personal water
containers can be refilled as needed. This does not mean that “buckets of
Water” will be available for cooking of cleaning mess gear.
Plan accordingly.
