2021 Saddleback District Camporall

October camping is the 2021 Saddleback District Camporall

This is our first true competition camping with the other troops in Saddleback. 

When:  October 22-24 

Where: Lakeview Park - 5305 E Santiago Canyon Rd, Silverado, CA 92676

This year's theme is:  Ancient Olympics  (start thinking of how we can incorporate that)

Camporee will take place at Irvine Lake on Fri-Sun Oct 22-24, 2021.

Fun will include:

  • Show off our Troop in the campsite competition
  • Show off your Scout Skills in the patrol-based competitions against patrols from all over the district... Earn Top Troop, Troop Patrol & Honor Troop awards.
  • Points awarded for Campsite inspections so keep it clean and well put together!
  • Points awarded for the Troop Gate competitions
  • Compete in the Dutch-oven cooking competition for both Scouts and Adults. 
  • Bring a few dollars for the snack shack and Mr. Iverson's World Famous Scout Gear Trading Post!

 

The cost for this event is $49 each, including camping, meals, a camporee patch.  

We will be making dinner at camp on Fri night.

Meet on Friday at 5:30 pm in the MO-2 parking lot. Please eat dinner before arriving.  

We'll return Sunday around or before lunchtime.  Make sure to sign up for our Troop Remind App texting to get the "We're on our way" message.

 

Camporall is a district-wide Arrow of Light invitation event.  We will be building bridges to the Troop 918 Scouts of the future.  
Participation is huge.  Recruiting is super important.  Cub Scouts have come back from COVID amazingly slow compared to Troops.  Many have not come back.  There are far fewer AOLs to recruit from.  

Survivor Camp

Posted on Sep 13 2021 - 10:01am

Is your patrol the best tribe?     Can you outwit, outlast, outplay?

Well, we're not voting people off but we are competing in Survivor-based competition games.

We'll also be joined by visiting Arrow of Light Scouts who are looking for a troop to bridge to in the new year. 
Do you want Troop 918 to exist in 5 years, then please help us recruit the future of our Troop 918 and invite them in just like others invited you.

 

We'll carpool from the church meeting at the MO-2 lot Friday September 17th at 6:30 pm.

We'll plan to return to church MO-2 lot late morning but before lunch on Sunday September 19th

$30 includes Saturday breakfast - Sunday breakfast and camping fees.

As usual, RSVP ASAP :-)  https://www.troop918.com/node/3363
