Generic Camporee patch.  Image used with permission.In Scouting, districts may hold a camporee once or twice a year. Typically, the camporee involves competitions, with events such as fire building, knot tying, first aid, emergency preparedness, pioneering or orienteering. Some camporees also integrate work on merit badges. The camporee may be centered around a central theme such as basic Scouting skills, living history, horsemanship, aquatics, shooting sports, a historical trail, a service project. Camporees often have a campfire program with awards and presentations, skits and songs. Camporees also may have a service project that helps the hosting facility.

Each year, the Long Cane District, of the Blue Ridge Council conducts two camporees (except when the Council decides to have a Spring Exporee).  This year, we will have our District Fall Camporee on October 9th - 11th, 2009.    This year, like we have in the past few years; we will have our district's Fall Camporee at the Lauren's Baptist Association lakefront property.  We once again concentrate on Scoutcraft skills --- rope typing, fire building, first aid, etc.
