Pre-planning
- Familiarize yourself with the Camporee website and download the Camporee App on your phone.
- Sign-up for the Camporee newsletter to stay informed.
- Start planning two years in advance and make a list of must have things to take. Set deadlines for every stage of the process.
- Check the Camporee website before you go and decide on honors that pathfinders want to do. Some require fees and you will need to send money with your child. Register early if necessary. Find out where the honors will be taught.
- Make sure that your club has quality tents that hold up well, with wind and water. Pathfinders also need to be prepared with quality equipment. Make an equipment checklist for your club as well as your pathfinder. Make sure your tent, sleeping bag, etc. are all updated & in good condition for cold nights.
- Have lots of trading pins and something to carry them in. Also, have something for your Pathfinder to put their pins on like a hat, vest, towel, or cloth, so they can display them.
- For working parents, plan your vacation a year before the Camporee and submit it in first month of the year 2024 to avoid late request and questions at work.
- Vendors have neat items to buy, so send some spending money.
- To be in the Camporee choir and Orchestra, a pathfinder needs to attend practices while at the Camporee, so make sure the pathfinder leader knows ahead of time that the pathfinder has a commitment for certain hours of the day and won’t be with the rest of the club during those times.
- If your Pathfinder wants to be baptized, contact your Club Director to let them know. Be sure to go through Baptismal classes ahead of time with your local pastor and get the paperwork done before you go to the Camporee. You can find the Baptismal Form online.
