Once again, it’s time to plan that first campout of the year! Outpost 292’s busiest Fall ever starts with the Western Section Camporee. The Camporee is s a weekend-long campout for Discovery Rangers (3rd grade) and older where the boys get to try out different skills, learn to work in a team, cook their own dinners (and wash thier own dishes), have a campfire and toast marshmellows.All in a positive Spirit filled atmosphere.
This year’s Camporee will take place on October 15th – 17th. We will meet Friday evening at the campsite behind Creekside Assembly of God (2625 Tonawanda Creek Road, Amherst, NY) around 6 PM. I should be there by 5:30.
We should be ready to come home Sunday the 17th by 11 AM, but sometimes this does take a little longer. We require the boys to pack up the camp, so sometimes we are a bit longer.
If your boys cannot come for the entire weekend, there is a Saturday-only option. Click here for a direct link to the entire Camporee Packet and Permision Slip.
a word on clothing
We live in Western NY, so it could easily be colder weather, so please be sure to send a raincoat and a warm jacket along with waterproof boots just in case it gets bad. Camping is always fun in any weather, but getting wet or cold is the only thing I have found to take the fun out of it. Please send the appropriate clothing.
So after saying that – once again – it is Buffalo. That means the weather could get warm as well – so send some lighter clothes as well. The best way to prepare is to think lots of layers, a raincoat and plenty of socks.
I am looking forward to a great campout and will be sending an information packet home the first week of meetings.
