Caswell District
Pre-Camporee

March 30 – April 1, 2007
Kinston Battlefield Park at Rivermont

Registration will be Friday afternoon from 4:00 to 9:00. The cost will be $8.00 per scout and each scout will receive an event patch. Please copy the registration forms from the Camporee booklet and submit them when you arrive Friday afternoon. We will follow the Camporee booklet score cards including the Saturday campsite inspection, and the uniform inspection on Friday evening.

You may pre-register at the Scout Office, but there will not be a discount for early registration, only points on the score card.

Pre-Camporee events to be held Saturday include the knot tying relay, compass event, fire building event, and first aid event. Bring your own ropes, compasses, and triangular bandages. All materials will be provided for the fire building event except hatchets and knives.

We will have Measely road barricaded starting Friday afternoon. Please enter the camping area from Highway 258 at Fred Moody’s garage. You will be asked to set up camp on the right hand side of Measley road. We will be leaving the area on the left of Measley road for the event field.

Port-a-Johns will be provided. We ask that you and your scouts use the ones provided near the camping area, and leave the one at headquarters for the staff and judges use.

Saturday evening there will be a campfire for everyone so practice your skits.

If you have questions, please contact Philip Decker on his cell phone 252-939-4672.

Yours in Scouting,
Philip Decker - Red Area Camporee Chief
