What: CAMPOREE!
When: 4/4/2025, 5:30:00 PM to 4/6/2025, 9:00:00 AM
Where: RANCHO ALEGRE / LARSEN MEADOW
Hello Scouts and Families,
Camporee is our annual rendezvous with other area troops for fun activities, competitions, and entertainment around the campfire. It will be at Larsen Meadow this year. Larsen Meadow is part of the Council’s Rancho Alegre (). Going north on Hwy 154, it is the left turn (with a left turn lane) immediately after the main entrance for Rancho Alegre and- just before the entrance to Lake Cachuma. Please be careful going in and out of Larsen Meadow, the traffic on Hwy 154 can be very fast.
Camporee runs from 5:30pm Friday evening (camp setup, dinner, information sessions — please do not arrive late) to checkout 9am Sunday morning. Saturday features competition events, possibly other activities, and an evening campfire where awards are presented. Parents/family are welcome at the evening campfire.
I am sending the attached Leader’s Packet that has a full description of the weekend. I encourage Scouts and parents to read it and to talk about how each Scout can be best prepared for Camporee.
RIGHT NOW, this is what we need:
* Please sign up in the RSVP space in this calendar event, NO LATER THAN TUESDAY MARCH 18.
* Every Scout and every Registered Adult who RSVPs by March 18 will have his or her fee and Saturday dinner paid by the Troop. (Yay!)
* Adults: I encourage all ASMs to sign up, and stay overnight if you can. ASMs will be conducting an Orienteering competition event on Saturday. ASMs’ fees and meal will be paid by the troop.
* Other registered adults who wish to camp overnight may do so, but I would encourage instead the Saturday pass. The reason is that space will be limited for our campsite.
* Adults who are not registered adults may visit on Saturday and/or stay for dinner and campfire Saturday night. They will pay their own day fee ($15) and dinner fee ($20) at the site.
*All Scouts will be assigned tent partners and cooking (2 breakfasts, one lunch) will be by patrol. We will discuss this on the 18th.
EVERYONE PLEASE RSVP BY TUESDAY MARCH 18, SO THAT WE CAN GET THE EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION DISCOUNT. Unless you write and tell me otherwise, we will assume:
” A Scout who signs up will stay for the weekend and want the Friday and Saturday night dinners.
” An ASM who signs up will do the same.
” A registered adult (not ASM) who signs up will visit on Saturday and receive the Saturday evening meal, paid by the troop.
” Any other adult who signs up will be paying their own Saturday fee and/or Saturday dinner fee.
Questions? Please contact me.
Yours in Scouting, Mike Schley SM
