We will be going to the District Camporee the weekend of October 15-17. We will be meeting up at a Walmart parking lot at 7pm Friday, and pickup will be at 9:30am Sunday.
The campsites at the camporee will be in a large open field, with areas marked off for each troop.
The cost for this campout is $40 per Scout, and includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner on Saturday, and breakfast on Sunday, plus the registration fee for the event.

Our troop has established COVID-specific policies that are somewhat different from the way we previously camped. Here are the details for this particular campout.
Transportation: Families are responsible for transporting their Scout(s) to and from the campsite.
Sleeping accommodations: Everyone will sleep in individual tents.
Sanitary facilities: There is a bathhouse with toilets and running water near the campsite. Hand sanitizer will be available in the campsite.
Masks: This event requires masking at all times, other than in the privacy of your tent.
Food: Everyone will bring their own dinner for Friday night (or eat ahead of time). We will be using the patrol cooking method for this campout. See the troop's COVID-19 guidelines for information on how we are working to prevent the spread of the virus during cooking/serving of food.
Water: Even though there is water at the site, everyone should bring enough drinking water for their own personal use (see packing list).
Everyone is expected to follow the troop's COVID-19 Guidelines.
