Honoring WWII Camporee 

Spring Camporee was amazing! We had 85 Scouts and 40 leaders enjoying the traditional wet Spring weather. Thompson's Veteran Ranch was once again a gracia host, and what a perfect match to the camporee theme.  Some highlights of the camporee were:
  • TANKS! Thanks to tank commander John Yaeger 516 for overseeing this fun event. The leaders even took a try at the tank activity - they just couldn't let the Scouts have all the fun. 
  • Sniper Shooting with Tom Gregory and the added challenge of balloons. Popping those balloons was great fun. 
  • The artillery range was challenging! Thanks to Coby Dawson 551 for this creative idea. Maybe we can try it again and somebody will hit the targets.
  • Bombadierring with Tobias Holleman 679 and his crew of assistants. The Scouts really enjoyed trying to hit the target and many got very good at it!
  • Orienteering Capture the Flag with Frank Dougher 2526 was a great event and not just because they got to Camo-up their faces. 
  • Campfire and Crackerbarrel was staffed by the Venture Crew 2526. Thanks to all the Units who participated! The SPLs were really wonderful throughout the Camporee.
  • Order of the Arrow hosted a very nice call-out with flames and reverence. Nice job.
  • District Crossover before OA was a first, and 21 Scouts and 4 leaders participated. We actually ran out of neckerchief slides (but Keith is making more). Thanks Keith for doing that.
The pictures tell the story, and if you want to see more, go to the MVD Gallery Page to link directly to all of them or see what is posted on Facebook. Once again, thanks to Bill Otto and the Camping Committee Team for another great event.
