“The Best Camporee Ever”
2021 Fall Camporee
15-17 October 2021
Beaumont Scout Reservation - Lane Field
Campmaster: DeAndre Westbrook III
Campmaster Adviser: Candice EvansWelcome Everyone!
My name is DeAndre Westbrook, I am an Eagle Scout from Troop 525 and I will be serving as
your 2021 Fall Camporee Campmaster!
The theme I have chosen for this Camporee is based on the cartoon Phineas and Ferb and will
consist of classic Camporee activities such as fire building, knot tying, first aid, trivia and more.
You will have a chance to earn more points by participating in afternoon events such as: flag
and yell judging, skit judging, costume contest, and a camp gadget making contest for each
patrol to participate in. The afternoon game will be kickball.
We will also be holding a socks and underwear drive for The Little Bits Foundation for inner city
kids (Grade K-8). Many days, these children go without the daily necessities that we take for
granted.
For this Camporee to be “The Best Ever”, we’ll need a few more staffers. If you are 14 years
old, and at least a Star Scout and you want to join my staff, contact me.
Let's have some fun and remember to ‘Carpe diem’ or Seize the Day

If you are hosting Webelos the Troop or the Pack will need to have a separate registration with the number of
Webelos Youth and Webelos Leaders that are attending.
Rosters
Every unit attending Camporee (both Pack and Troop) must turn in a roster on Friday night at check-in. Please
provide all the information that the roster requests (name, address, phone, age, etc.). A printed sheet from
Excel, Troopmaster or some other similar format is acceptable.
Patrol Registration Form
Every unit that has patrols competing in the Camporee needs to turn in the patrol registration page when they
turn in their rosters. The form is attached in the back of this manual.
Health Information
Be sure to have health information forms on all your participants (adults and scouts). This information should
be readily accessible at your campsite. All leaders in camp, in case of an emergency, should know its location
Participation
It should be noted that Camporee events are separated into two programs. The Boy Scouts and Webelos each
have their own manual and participation is only for the intended group. However we highly encourage that
during non event times the Boy Scouts should spend time with the Webelos scouts and encourage them to
participate in all campsite activities (setting up camp, cooking, clean-up, camp games, & ect.)
3Arrival and Check-In
Do not plan to arrive earlier than 5:00 pm on Friday. After your vehicles are parked and while camp is being
set up, please have an adult come to District Headquarters to check in with complete rosters, patrol
registration forms, and final payments. Please check in between 7:00 and 9:00pm.
SPL/Scoutmaster/Webelos Leader Meeting
This meeting is important, so Senior Patrol Leaders, Scoutmasters, and Webelos Leader should attend. It will
be held on Friday night at 9:30pm at District Headquarters. This meeting will cover any last minute changes to
information pertaining to the Camporee program, as well as answer any questions you may have concerning
the Camporee.
Religious Services
“A Scout is Reverent”. We ask that all Scoutmasters encourage their Scouts to attend the religious service of
their choice. Locations of religious services will be discussed at the SPL meeting on Friday evening. In addition
during the religious services those not attending religious services need to remain in their respective campsites
and not be loud.
Campfire Program
Saturday night the staff will put on a campfire with help of skits from the Boy Scouts and Webelos Scouts. This
is a camp wide activity and we encourage everyone to attend in uniform.

You may only use the dumpsters at the Ranger Maintenance Area if they are not already full.
