Official Camporee Guidebook.

Departure:

  • 5:30 PM at Mary’s Travel Center. We must enter the camp as a Troop. No single entries are allowed. If you don’t want to caravan from Mary’s, you can meet us on site at Tannehill at Farley Field (item #46 on this map). You still have to wait on us to enter, though.
  • Everyone is on their own for supper on Friday.

Return:

  • Sunday morning, between 10 am & Noon, most likely. Pick up at Mary’s Travel Center.

Paperwork You Need to Bring:

What to Bring:

As you can see, we’re on the edge of marginal.
  • This event is pirate themed, so anything pirate-like is nice, but don’t get too carried away. This isn’t a total costume party.
  • Gear:
    • I would make every attempt to pare down your gear to the essentials. You may have to walk the gear a good ways into camp.
    • Class A Uniform.
    • The standard camping essentials.
    • Rain gear
      • The weather types are predicting rain starting around midnight Friday and lasting until mid-morning Saturday. Come prepared for that. I will have a weather radio and there are pavilions for us to shelter in (including a concrete tornado shelter in the park). This isn’t the end of the world. You will survive.
        • Poncho/rain jacket.
        • Hat
        • Shoes that are water resistant.
        • Dry clothes. Put them in a dry bag, if you have it. If not, use a garbage bag or some other plastic bag.
          • Dry socks and underwear are absolute must haves.
        • Tarpaulins – always handy to have.
    • Facemask – we’re still proceeding under the same camping guidelines as before: masked when cooking or in close contact with other people.
    • Cup, mess kit, silverware, water bottle.
    • Tent or hammock.
    • Roll of toilet paper (don’t leave home without it).
    • Washcloth and towel.
    • Compass, if you have one.
