CAMPOREE:

What is a CAMPOREE?

Troops have campouts, but when all the units in our Field Service Council gather together, it’s a special event…it’s a CAMPOREE!

There are three principle reasons to have a CAMPOREE:

1. To provide and an adventurous learning experience for all Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Ventures, and Explorers. These youth members will benefit from the excitement of participation in a Council event with Scouts from across southern Michigan! 2. To provide unit members with activities in a greater and larger setting than they can accomplish in their own hometowns. 3. Friendly competition and fun! This is a celebration of Scouting in southern Michigan!

The bottom line is this: The “what and why” for having a CAMPOREE are the same reasons

why you and our units should participate in a CAMPOREE. CAMPOREE is a dramatic SETTING FOR COMPETITION, TEAMWORK AND FUN for Scouts of all ages. How to get started:

Read: The CAMPOREE booklet. Make some notes on what you would like your units to do.

Share: CAMPOREE information with your youth members and leaders.

Discuss: Preparation, youth leadership and committee support.

Appoint: A Scoutmaster, Cubmaster or Crew Advisor and your Committee Chairman to the CAMPOREE Leadership Team. Troops, Crews and Posts may also appoint a 16+ yr old youth to the team!

Develop: A plan to have all of your members, dens & patrols participate.

Call: Have phone numbers available if anyone needs more information or help! Begin planning your CAMPOREE experience by….

Reading this guide thoroughly

Sharing the information with the unit Committee, adult leaders, and youth members.

Build team spirit so preparation can begin immediately. Promote, promote, promote! When planning your CAMPOREE experience remember…

As Soon As Possible…

CAMPOREE & Cub Adventure Day Information ♦= Important for Cub Scouts as well

♦REGISTRATION To ensure proper leadership for the youth, registration must be UNIT-based rather than individual-based. Register only those who are firmly committed to attend because the event will be held “rain or shine”; and NO refunds will be issued, except for major medical reasons.

(Refund requests must be made in writing and submitted to the CAMPOREE Chairman within two days of the close of the event.) Everyone who attends CAMPOREE must register for the event; and all attendees will be issued an appropriately colored wristband, which must be worn at all times. For safety & security reasons, unregistered people will not be permitted to participate in CAMPOREE activities. ♦PHOTO RELEASE All Scouts and leaders must have a completed photo release on file (BSA Health Form part A&B). Units should have and keep on hand the BSA Part A&B health form for all participants, youth & adult. Cubs & Webelos attending should have an BSA Part A&B health form as well. (No doctor sig required) CAMPOREE ARRIVAL AND CHECK-IN

ALL FRIDAY NIGHT vehicles are to enter at the Fort’s rear entrance of Ft Custer Drive at exit 88 off of I-94. (Carpooling is strongly encouraged to reduce traffic congestion.) Drivers will be

directed to the appropriate parking area, from which passengers will embark and walk to their campsites. 2 equipment vehicles can be taken to campsites but should be moved to the parking lot after unloading. (One trailer can remain at the campsite.) Scouts/Ventures/Explorers are not permitted to ride in the back of pickup trucks at any time. Soon after arrival, a representative of each unit should report to your Commissioner subcamp HQ to submit a revised unit roster (if necessary), obtain wristbands and additional program materials, and rectify any outstanding balance of fees. CUB ADVENTURE DAY ARRIVAL

♦Cub Packs should arrive as a group. You will park offsite at one of the Ft Custer Industrial Park businesses on Denso Drive, (Look for the signs). You will be bussed-in to the Fort. One leader proceed to CAMPOREE HQ to check the group in. CAMPSITE COMPETITION

Each unit will have its own designated camping area with campsites that have been assigned based on unit size. Troops are encouraged to erect gateways (freestanding, no holes, please) and to display patrol flags at their campsite entrances. Each subcamp will recognize units with the best gateway and with the best patrol flag; and winners will be announced at the Campfire Show. GATEWAYS Camping units are encouraged to make gateways that identify their unit and hometown. Please display your unit and patrol flags. In your planning, please keep in mind that you should not dig holes in the construction of the gate. BOXED LUNCH

Each registered participant, parent, sibling & staff will receive a boxed lunch from Pastrami Joes in Marshall! It will consist of a turkey sandwich with dressings and vegetables on the side, chips, apple and a drink.


CAMPFIRE SHOW (SATURDAY)

The Saturday evening show will include music, awards and out keynote speaker, the Food Network’s ALTON BROWN! Mr Brown’s appearance is sponsored by the Battle Creek Community Foundation and Omni Credit Union.

ALTON BROWN!

• Best Selling Food Book Author – New York Times Best Seller – Peabody Award Winner

• Food Network Host – Good Eats, Next Food Network Star, Iron Chef

America, Feasting on Asphalt, Next Iron Chef – Emmy Award Nominated

• Frequently mentions Cooking Merit Badge & Boy Scouts

• Saturday Breakfast & Dinner Recipe’s, 3-4pm Cooking Demo & Arena Show Keynote Speaker

One thing to note: THIS IS NOT A PUBLIC PERFORMANCE. We cannot advertise it outside our membership or sell admissions. This is strictly a private gig for our membership. So other than the sponsors, there will be no guest admissions or VIP passes for people to come in just for the show.

Mr Brown will also be doing a brief meet & greet with our sponsors for the event. Due to his schedule, he may or may not be able to do autographs or campsite visits. Both we and he are hoping to make the most of his time with us, but he is in the middle of a tour and doing a private stop in Battle Creek just for us! We thank him for his appearance this weekend. ARENA SHOWS

We expect over 3000 people to attend the afternoon demonstration and over 2000 people to attend the Saturday night show. We ask your cooperation in arriving at the arena early, and filling the seating area from the front and as tight as possible. Folding chairs (without canopies) are allowed, but for the viewing pleasure of others, guests with chairs should locate themselves at the back and extreme sides of the seating area. We will also have an area cordoned off directly in the front of the stage to allow our tech and camera crews access to film and to show the program on the video projection screen.

Although Alton Brown spent plenty of time in his mom’s kitchen growing up, his real interest in food sparked in college when he discovered that girls who said “no”, to dates sometimes said “yes” if he offered to cook for them. His social life never ignited, but the food spark did

and after spending a decade behind the camera in the TV industry, he headed to culinary school in hopes of one day creating a new kind of cooking show. Good Eats, the show that Brown would go on to wrote, produce, and host ran for 13 years on Food Network before making the move to Cooking Channel where it airs to this day. Combining food science, pop culture, skit humor, innovative cooking, and the

occasional belching puppet, Good Eats has millions of fans and garnered a coveted Peabody Award for broadcast excellence in 2007. Brown has also served as the culinary commentator of Iron Chef America for 11 seasons, and hosted Next Iron Chef for 5. Brown took

home the James Beard Award for top food show host in 2011 which bookends nicely the one his first book nabbed in 2002. Speaking of books, he’s written 7 the last three of which made the New York Times Best Sellers List.

In 2012 he joined the cast of Food Network Star as a mentor and yes...one of his team members won. He’ll be back on Star again in 2013. But wait, that’s not all. Brown performs live stage shows, demos, speeches, lectures, and talks and his first live tour is slated to hit the road in October of 2013.

Brown is a pilot, a motorcyclist, a scuba diver, and a champion tango dancer (one of these things is a lie). He’s fanatical about bow ties, which explains why he’s partnering with Hook&Albert on his own line. As of this printing way over half a million innocent folks on Twitter

consider him to be a close personal friend. At this moment, Brown is baking biscuits in Atlanta, GA while waiting for a call from the Nobel

Committee.


FIRE/FUELS

NO GROUND FIRES ARE ALLOWED! Charcoal, propane, or liquid fuel stoves are permitted. Wood fires are permitted in “off the ground” containers. Please be sure you do not scorch the ground. Please note that this is subject to change due to weather conditions and base restrictions. Review liquid fuel information in The Guide to Safe Scouting. Only adults are

allowed to handle liquid fuels. Whenever fire is burning in a campsite, an adult must be in attendance to oversee safety measures. Any fire that gets out of hand should immediately and properly be contained; and the incident, no matter how minor, should be reported to CAMPOREE Headquarters. WATER Water is available onsite, but is some distance from the camping areas. The Facilities staff will work with your subcamp commissioner to arrange water runs Saturday morning and afternoon. We recommend that you bring your water jugs full on Friday. GARBAGE

Please keep the CAMPOREE grounds clean! Although limited trash receptacles will be available throughout the program and headquarter areas, ALL UNITS ARE REQUIRED TO CARRY HOME GARBAGE FROM THEIR CAMPSITES.

♦In addition, attendees are asked to pick up and properly dispose of any trash found on the CAMPOREE grounds. ♦LATRINES

Portable toilets will be on-site. A very few flush toilets will also be available. ♦PROPER UNIFORMING IS ESSENTIAL

Scouting is on display and the public will judge you and your charter organization by your appearance and actions. Wear your uniform. FIRST AID

♦A First Aid Station, staffed by qualified emergency medical response personnel, will be located near Headquarters in both the Scout and the Cub program areas. All injuries must be reported to the First Aid Station. If the injury involves a child, an adult must accompanied that youth to

and from the First Aid Station and, if necessary, the hospital. A completed BSA Health form (Part A&B) required for each participant. These health forms are to be kept on the premises by the unit and taken to the first aid facility if treatment is needed. The medical information is required if local hospital or emergency services become necessary. ♦TRADING POST

A Trading Post with Scout goods and CAMPOREE collectibles will be open on Saturday. SCOUT’S OWN SERVICE

CAMPOREE Committee’s Commitment to Security Understanding Bring this form –signed – with you to the camporee

• I understand the CAMPOREE Committee has limits regarding Cubs & Boy Scouts “wandering”. • That the boundaries are set to aid in the safety of my boys visiting the events around the CAMPOREE area. • I understand that if my boys are located outside the CAMPOREE area, security will escort them to the registration area where I will have to retrieve them. • Finally, I recognize the public perception of my boy’s behavior will reflect on SSFSC events for future years.

Recognition Awards:

The participation award patch must be earned by all participants (youth and adult). Each registered Youth or leader (not parents or

sibs) will receive a lanyard credential. Participants should put their name on the lanyard

with a Sharpie Marker. At each activity station, the participant should

present their lanyard to the event coordinator at the completion of the activity.

The coordinator will “punch” the credential before you move on.

Participants must have a minimum of 6 punches to qualify for their patch.

When your lanyard is complete, you go to the patch station where you will receive the final punch and your event participation award patch.

The patch stations will open after lunch. Leaders must also receive the minimum amount of punches to qualify for their

award. Different activities/stations may be worth more than 1 punch. Serving as a staff volunteer or taking leader training will automatically get you

completely punched…and then some!

Kitchen Equipment

We told Mr Brown that each Patrol will have the following basic equipment available to them:

•Cook Kit •Utensil Kit •Dutch oven •Stove - some may be high flow burners or Coleman-type suitcase stoves, but will be propane •Charcoal pit (above ground) •Cutting board •Aluminum foil •Cast iron or aluminum griddle •48 qt cooler •5 gallon Igloo-type water cooler •Many units supplement their Patrol Kitchens with other items, but these are the basics.

So we are supplying each patrol with the cooler, drink cooler and Dutch Oven. You should check your patrol kitchens to see that you have the rest!


Menus & Recipes from Alton Brown! Here are the recipes that Alton Brown has prepared for our Scouts to cook for breakfast and dinner at the event! He actually ordered a Trail Chef Cook Kit and Chef Kit from BSA Supply, a Dutch Oven like we are supplying and a propane stove to use in his Atlanta test kitchen! He and his team have been testing outdoors to replicate the conditions that our patrols will be cooking in. We are now in the process of ordering the food for you, so read the 2 menus to your members and see if it tickles their tastebuds. The menus for the cracker barrels and breakfast are also below, and the Saturday lunch is a catered box lunch. MAKE SURE YOU READ AND COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND THE MENUS BEFORE YOU START COOKING. YOU WILL HAVE TO BEGIN ON FRIDAY NIGHT!

Curing the Dutch oven:

Prepare a bed of coals in a fire bowl – you can use the instructions below to light lump charcoal or use match light for this purpose only. Wash the Dutch oven with warm soapy water. The Dutch oven is coated with wax for shipping and it must be removed before curing. Rinse and dry thoroughly with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. Use a clean paper towel to rub a small amount of vegetable oil over the entire Dutch oven. Use roughly a tablespoon for both the oven and the lid. Invert the oven over the warm coals and place the lid on top of the feet. “Cook” the Dutch oven for at least 1 hour, adding coals as needed to keep the coals going. Cool the pan completely. You may repeat this process 1 to 2 additional times (oiling, cooking, and cooling). Clean your pan after the oiling and cooking process, wash with warm water only and drying thoroughly. After each use, dry your pan over warm coal or in a low oven, oil it lightly and store with a clean paper towel between the oven and the lid.

Breakfast: Dutch-Oven Migas with Scrambled Eggs Recipe courtesy Alton Brown, 2013 Yield: 10 to 12 servings Software: 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided 3 (16 ounce) cans seasoned pinto beans 2 (16 ounce) jars mild fire roasted salsa 7 ounces smoked beef jerky, finely chopped* 1 (16 ounce –party sized bag) nacho cheese tortilla chips, such as Doritos 1 pound of grated Monterey jack cheese 12 large eggs ½ cup water 1 teaspoon kosher salt


Procedure: The night before: Coat the bottom and sides of the Dutch oven with two tablespoons vegetable oil. Pour in two cans of beans and add the jerky. Top this layer of beans with half of the cheese – being sure to spread the cheese in an even layer. Add the entire bag of chips, top with the remaining can of beans, one can of salsa, and top with the remaining cheese. Cover and store in a cooler with ice packs overnight. The next morning: Remove the Dutch oven lid and top the pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil and place the large (12 inch) camp pan on top of the foil, pressing the pan down onto the migas. Place the Dutch oven over one burner of the camp stove and turn that burner to low. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until all the cheese is melted. Meanwhile, whisk the eggs, water, and salt together in a medium camp pot using a fork. Invert the Dutch oven lid over the other burner and heat to medium–low heat. Heat a teaspoon of vegetable oil on the lid for one minute. Add a third of the egg mixture and stir with a spatula as the mixture begins to curd, until there is no more liquid running around the pan, approximately 5 minutes. Remove the cooked eggs to the pan onto top of the migas. Continue cooking the eggs in two additional batches. Serve the eggs with a scoop of migas and additional salsa, if desired. * TIP: Use a pair of scissor or kitchen shears to snip the jerky into small pieces.

Dinner: Skirt Steak on Coals with Couscous Pilaf Recipe courtesy Alton Brown, 2013 Yield: 10 to 12 servings Software: 3 pounds inside skirt steak 1 tablespoon kosher salt vegetable oil 5 cups water ½ cup dehydrated peas ½ cup dehydrated carrots ¼ cup dehydrated onions 1 (1 ounce package) ranch dressing mix 2 cups large pearl couscous Procedure: Remove the steak from the fridge (or cooler) one hour before cooking – season liberally with kosher salt on all sides. Light half an 8-pound bag of lump natural charcoal: Cut the bag of charcoal in half vertically. Separate the layers of the top piece of bag – there should be two or three. Coat each piece of the paper with vegetable oil and crumple into loose balls. Set the balls in the center of the fire bowl. Stack the lump charcoal loosely around these balls creating a pyramid and using about half of the bag of charcoal. Save the remaining charcoal for another time. Light the paper ball on fire by inserting a stick lighter into the pyramid. The charcoal will light best if the paper balls are lit on more than one side. The charcoal will take approximately 40 minutes to be fully lit – they should be ashy white all over. Bring the water, peas, carrots, corn, onions, salt to a boil in the large camp pot. Boil covered for 10 minutes. Add the couscous, stir and remove from the heat. Rest for 10 minutes. Immediately lay steaks directly onto the hot coals for 1 minute per side. When finished cooking, place the meat in double thickness of aluminum foil, wrap, and rest off the fire for 15 minutes. Remove the meat from the foil, reserving foil and juices. Slice thinly across the grain of the meat. Serve immediately.


Bonus dessert: Dutch Oven Fruit Cake Recipe courtesy Alton Brown, 2013 Yield: 10 to 12 servings This recipe is intended to go onto the fire after the Skirt Steak on Coals has been cooked and eaten. We’ve included instructions for lighting the lump charcoal again, but you use the same batch of coal you lit for dinner. This also makes an excellent breakfast when you have the time to light the lump charcoal. Software: 2 cups all purpose flour 1 cup sugar ½ cup cornmeal 1 tablespoon baking powder ½ teaspoon kosher salt ½ cup vegetable oil 3 large eggs 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk 2 cups water 1 cup dark brown sugar 1 cup dried cherries 1 cup golden raisins 1 cup chopped dried apricots Procedure: Combine the flour, sugar, cornmeal, baking powder, kosher salt in a gallon zip-top bag and shake to combine. This mixture can be made and stored for up to a month. Light half an 8-pound bag of lump natural charcoal: Cut the bag of charcoal in half vertically. Separate the layers of the top piece of bag – there should be two or three. Coat each piece of the paper with vegetable oil and crumple into loose balls. Set the balls in the center of the fire bowl. Stack the lump charcoal loosely around these balls creating a pyramid and using about half of the bag of charcoal. Save the remaining charcoal for another time. Light the paper ball on fire by inserting a stick lighter into the pyramid. The charcoal will light best if the paper balls are lit on more than one side. The charcoal will take approximately 40 minutes to be fully lit – they should be ashy white all over. Move the coals to the outer edges of the fire bowl and set the Dutch oven in the middle of the bowl. Add the oil, eggs, and sweetened condensed milk to the zip-top bag and seal. Massage the wet and dry mixtures together in the bag until well combined, approximately 3 minutes. Add the water, brown sugar, and dried fruit to the Dutch oven. Cut a corner off the zip-top bag and squeeze the batter into the prepared Dutch oven and cover. Place the Dutch oven in the center of the coal and place two medium lumps on top of the lid. Bake for 15 minutes or until the cake is setting around the sides. Remove from the heat and rest covered for 10 minutes.

Health & Safety (UXO) Ft Custer is one of the nation’s oldest “live fire” training bases. It has been in continuous use as a training facility since World War I. Soldiers have trained with live ammunition for almost 100 years, and have not always been as conscious of accounting for expended ordinance as they are today. Every year, the National Guard finds unexploded mortars, artillery shells, hand grenades, aerial bombs and small arms ammo laying on the ground in the training areas. The “rule of thumb” is to LEAVE IT ALONE! Unexploded ordinance (UXO) can be more dangerous as it gets older and is exposed to the elements. A 75-year-old hand grenade or mortar shell is deadly. If you see something that looks like military ammunition or ordinance, please notify your adult leader, but DO NOT TOUCH IT! Your unit leader will report it to the staff and the National Guard will have an Explosive Ordinance Destruction (EOD) team on standby to deal with the situation. The Army would rather remove a piece of junk than evacuate an injured Scout. Each unit will have an EOD safety briefing card to go over with the units upon arrival.

Weather According to the “Old Farmer’s Almanac”, September and October will be warmer and drier than usual! Here’s hoping The event goes on rain or shine. There are no refunds because of weather. Most activities will continue outdoors as scheduled. In the case of severe weather, the staff and the National Guard will implement the severe weather plan. The plan will be shared with campers on Friday evening.

Precautions urged for people, pets as peak season for ticks arrives

Fields with tall grass, wooded areas and the sand dunes are places where ticks live. They also are places where people like to go when the weather warms up. Put the two together and there is a potential for some serious health problems, including Lyme disease. “They have moved down here and they are a problem,” said Betty Carnes, office manager at O'Malleys Pest

Control. Carnes should know. She answers the phone at O'Malleys and hears all about problems caused by all kinds of pests, including ticks. And as long as the weather stays warm, it'll continue to be a problem. “When there is no frost, I'm thinking it can be a problem through October,” Carnes said. “Don't put your guard down at all.” The Michigan Department of Community Health reports that ticks can carry human and animal disease — including Lyme disease, an infection caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, which can be serious if not properly diagnosed and treated. It can start as a skin rash and progress to such serious conditions as joint, nerve or heart damage. Most ticks do not carry disease, but it's always a good idea to have symptoms checked by a doctor if you get bit by a tick. Dangers of contracting Lyme disease can be significantly reduced by having an increased awareness of tick activity, preventing their bites as much as possible and quickly removing the ticks when they do bite. There is no foolproof way to avoid ticks, but there are precautions that can be taken. “Keep the pant legs tied up so they don't get to your skin,” Carnes said. “Always check the arms and legs, under their shirts and under the collars.” Ticks that become attached can be removed with fingers or tweezers by grasping close to the head and slowly pulling straight out. As you pull, the tick will eventually let go, but if the head remains embedded in the skin, use tweezers. If unsuccessful, seek medical attention. “They have spread quite a bit around here,” Carnes said. “We've been getting quite a few calls from people concerned about it.”

SSFSC Fall Council Camporee 2013 – Boy Scout Program Activities

“Zombie Zone” Scope: A military convoy transporting a bio-hazardous substance, Code-Named Zombie- 2013, was passing through the US Army’s Top-Secret Training Center, Fort Custer, when the truck transporting the bio-hazardous substance mysteriously turned over and the Zombie-2013 was spilled and seeped into the Fort Custer water supply. It has been revealed by the Governments top Scientists that if Zombie 2013 is ingested by humans it turns them in

to Zombie-Like creatures. Once turned, these creatures develop an appetite for human flesh. If bitten by a contaminated human the victim becomes zombie-like also. It has now been reported that an unknown mass quantity of Fort Custer personnel have indeed become infected and multiplying throughout Fort Custer. The military has currently cordoned off a large sector of Fort Custer with a containment field that these zombie-like creatures hopefully cannot cross. The zone is clearly marked with caution tape stamped, “Bio- Hazardous Zone”. Two crack Infantry Divisions also surround this zone. The Zombie-Like Creatures can be stopped using conventional military weapons but the President has ordered this method used only as a last resort should any of the Zombie-Like creatures make it across the containment line. Our Government Scientists need to capture some of these creatures to examine and hopefully discover an antidote for this affliction. Previous attempts by our Scientists to capture some of these Zombie-Like creatures have failed. The President has ordered the Elite Forces, known as The Boy Scouts, to enter the Zombie Zone, use all of their Boy Scout Skills, and attempt to capture some of these Zombie-Like creatures for experimentation and hopefully find a cure. The exact location of these Zombie-Like creatures is not clearly known. Therefore, the Zombie Zone has been divided up into 20 sectors. Each Boy Scout Patrol will enter these sectors to search out these Zombie-Like Creatures and bring some specimens back. We have managed to air-drop 20 containers into these sectors in which outposts have been established. We placed Senior members of the BSA inside these containers as observers only. Patrols must work their ways into the sectors and report to these Observation Points and receive reports of Zombie activities and instructions from the Observer. Patrols will have their sector maps stamped at the Observation Point once they’ve cleared the sector and move on to the next sector. Caution must be taken to not be bitten by an infected Zombie. Reports show that these Zombies are not easily identifiable. Therefore, each individual of the Scout Patrols will wear a visible Fleur-di-les symbol and use the secret Scout Sign to delineate themselves from the Zombies. Should any member of the Patrol be bitten by an infected creature, attempt to remove the designation from that Patrol member to avoid confusion. Even if a Patrol Member does become infected and the symbol cannot be removed, Zombies cannot manipulate their hands to give the secret Scout Sign. The President has decreed the Nations Highest Honor will be bestowed upon the most successful of Scout Patrols. Are you up to the Challenge?


Can you survive the ZOMBIE ZONE? Now to Begin – Zombie’s are essentially living human beings that have been infected by the Zombie 2013 Bio- Agent. The agent renders them Zombie-Like, which means they are hostile

and extremely dangerous. With one bite they can turn others into these Zombies. The military has taken every precaution to contain these creatures. The Boy Scout Patrols will be required to take a challenging security quiz to enter and exit the infected sectors of the Zombie Zone. Zombies have no way of communicating or even thinking. They wantonly stagger to and fro causing destruction on any uninfected living thing. This security quiz will be one of the major methods for clearing an uninfected Scout. (See Quiz below) To prepare for this challenge, can you answer these questions? Some may be used as

recognition tests, some may be the very skill you need to survive the ZOMBIE ZONE! http://www.backpacker.com/september-2009-the-boy-scout-quiz/skills/13273

Skills needed to prevent the spread of the Zombie Virus:

.22 rifle shooting

Archery

Tomahawk Throwing

Knife Throwing

Challenge and problem solving

Personal fitness challenges

Rappelling

Land Navigation

Rope making

Knots & lashings

Potato Launchers

Wrist Rockets

Frequently Asked Questions for the 2013 SSFSC Fall Camporee and Cub Adventure Day:

(Boy Scout, Venture, Explorer) Do we have to cook our food?

Yes, “Commissary Style” food service means we supply the ingredients and menus, but you do the cooking. The Leader Guide has a list of cooking utensils you will need to bring.

(ALL) Why all of the security and names in advance?

Ft Custer is an active military post. It has been so since before World War 1! It houses all sorts of military ammunition, hardware, weapons, vehicles and explosives that need to be safeguarded and secured. Under “normal” circumstances, everyone coming onto the base must show ID, have their vehicle searched, and have a sponsor and a valid reason for entering the base. In order to accommodate us, the National Guard has relaxed some of the requirements for entry, but we must submit everyone’s name 10 days in advance of the event for comparison to the National Terrorism Watch List. If we have a “hit” it gives the national Guard enough lead time to contact you through your unit and do further investigation. For this reason, Cubs and parents will park offsite and be bussed onto the property. Each bus load will have a manifest to present to security. The manifest will be checked against registration in the parking area. Scout Troops, Venture Crews & Explorer Posts will have a cursory inspection of their vehicles upon entry, and all vehicles will be parked in a central area. The 2 vehicles that will be allowed near the campsites will have to be returned to the parking area as soon as they are unloaded.

(ALL) How do Late Arrivals/Early Departures work?

This was not designed as a “drop-in” or “come and go” event. Late arrivals and early departures are not encouraged. We recommend you do all that can be done to resolve conflicts and come for the entire event (Fri-Sat-Sun or Saturday 10-4). In all cases, a participant must complete a certain number of activities in order to earn the participation patch. Those that do not complete their required activities will not receive the participation patch. Please remember that it is OK to ask a Scout to choose between a sport and Scouts sometimes. We do not do it very often, and we tend to be afraid that they will choose sports every time. “Sports are for a season, Scouting is for a lifetime”. PARKING SHUTTLES TO AND FROM OFF-SITE PARKING WILL RUN 8AM-1130AM, AND 2PM – 5PM ON SATURDAY ONLY. Late arrivals: The gates close at 10 pm each night and re-open at 730 each morning. No entry or exit is allowed between 10pm and 730am. Scouts/Ventures/Explorers that arrive Friday night before 10, but after their unit has checked-in should enter through the “back gate” at 40th Street and Ft Custer Drive off of exit 88 on I-94. You will be directed to your unit. If you are arriving Saturday morning, please follow the signs off exit 92 (I-94) to the off-site parking


area, and take a bus to camporee HQ and you will be directed to your unit. Vehicles are not allowed to drop-off on the post. Early departures: You will need to take one of our shuttle busses from Camporee HQ to the offsite parking. Instruct your ride to meet you at the offsite parking. Allow 30-40 mins to get from HQ to parking and note the schedule above. If you are parked in the onsite lot for Scouts/Ventures/Explorers, if you leave early, you will not be re-admitted. You will need to return via the parking shuttle during the posted hours. Units leaving early for religious observances should check-out with their commissioner before leaving. UNITS WITH LATE ARRIVALS/EARLY DEPARTURES MUST E-MAIL THAT INFORMATION TO [email protected] BY 12 SEPTEMBER IN ORDER TO HAVE THEIR ARRIVAL/DEPARTURE ON THE SECURITY LIST.

(Scouts/Ventures/Explorers) I can have 2 vehicles and my trailer in my campsite, right?

You can have up to 2 vehicles proceed beyond parking and drop off people, gear and trailers as close to your site as you can get. After they unload, the vehicles need to return to parking as soon as possible. The trailer may remain as close to the site as possible. This is not flat field terrain, and some sites do not have road access. Your commissioner will help direct you to the closest drop off point available. So please be prepared that some gear may have to be carried from the vehicles to the sites.

(All) Do we really need to arrive as a group?

Yes, Units (Packs included) need to arrive together so that we can get you checked-in expediently. Cubs that arrive separately create challenges for both our staff and for themselves as they will not “catch-up” with the rest of the group, they will be placed into other “Super Dens”.
