Camporee is an event that occurs once a year to test scouts of various troops in activities that use their skills as scouts. The scouts participate in their patrols to accomplish tasks that require both teamwork and individual prowess, including lashing a chair to carry a member of the patrol, archery, shooting, and knot expertise. The day after the action the event runners, composed of adult leaders from the attending troops, announce the best performers of each event as well as in other categories such as teamwork and scout spirit. The entire excursion is a great time for all involved and an opportunity to utilize the skills that scouting teaches in fun and interesting ways.
