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,

We would like to invite all of the Webelos in Caswell District to come and campout with the Neusiok Chapter of the Order of the Arrow and join in a day full of Boy Scout fun. This will be a hands-on event where the Webelos participate in the events and not just watch.

Events for the day include a cooking demo, and a chariot race…Boy Scout style. There will also be stretcher race, first aid / bandage tying, & knot tying. Boys will participate in knife and axe handling classes, and participate in leadership games such as the Blind Puzzle and Blind Rope Course. All of these events are mirrored after Camporee events and OA Quest events as well as basic Boy Scout skills. This will give the Webelos an introduction to the fun things they will do in Boy Scouts. That evening there will be a campfire for everyone so practice your skits. If any unit would like a crossover ceremony for the Webelos during the campfire, please let us know ASAP. The OA will provide a ceremony complete with Indians in full regalia.

Registration will be Saturday morning from 7:00 to 9:00. The cost will be $8.00 per scout and each scout will receive an event patch. Scout challenges begin at 10:00. Lunch break will be 12:00 until 1:30, then events continue until 5:00. Each Cub Pack will be responsible for their meals and camping supplies. A trading post will be open during the day with drinks & snacks. If a pack would like to camp Friday night they may but there will be no scheduled events.

This will be a very good opportunity for Webelos to experience a part of Boy Scouting and hopefully inspire them to continue on. This event is being planned and conducted by the youth members of Caswell District’s Neusiok Chapter of the Order of the Arrow, Scouting’s honor society.

If you have questions, please contact Walter Taylor, Chapter advisor or Mike Whittington, associate advisor. Walter can be reached at home: 566-4096 or on his cell phone: 521-4113. Mike can be reached at home: 522-4502. Please make plans to attend this event with your Webelos and lets get them all hooked on Scouting.


Yours in Scouting,
