ZombieLand Camporee
General Rules
These rules apply for the entire Camporee weekend.
1. Everyone at the Camporee site – Scouts, adults, workers, everyone – needs to file
a medical form. No Doctors signature required. To find a blank form, go to
http://nhscouting.org and click on the far right “Camping Forms” box, or
download from
http://www.scouting.org/sitecore/content/Home/HealthandSafety/ahmr.aspx
Bring an envelope with your Medical forms to registration at the Camporee.
2. Everyone on the course must be appropriately dressed. This Camporee is rain or
shine! Remember to pack your rain gear!
3. You are expected to abide by your Scout Oath, the Scout Law, and the Outdoor
Code. Show respect to our hosts, event staff, and other Scouts.
4. Plan to cook on a stove. To build a fire in your campsite, you must use a metal
fire pan such as a trash can lid or wheelbarrow pan, and elevate it at least 6” off
the ground with bricks, cinder blocks, or similar materials. A fire pan set on the
ground scorches the ground and kills vegetation. When finished, make sure your
fire is dead out, and take the ashes away with you
5. Carry in/Carry out – Please be prepared to carry your trash home with you. There
will be NO dumpsters!
On the Stations
The ZOMBIE Leader of any station is the final arbiter of any conflicts concerning the
scoring at that station. The on-site event chairman is the final arbiter of any conflicts
concerning a patrol’s overall score and ranking. Since no adults are allowed in
stations, any arbitration must be initiated and conducted by the Patrol Leader.
Webelos Campout
Please invite Webelos to camp with your Troop. Please include them in your
registration so we know how much space to give you. Please help the Webelos
Leaders and parents follow the Youth Protection guidelines.

can expect them to exercise traditional Scout skills and patrol teamwork.

“Cardio” – Infected v. Survivor game.
“Ziploc Bags” - Fire starting is vital!
“Double Tap” – Paintball!!! Need I say more?
“Fasten Your Seat Belt” – perhaps knots would keep you in your seat?

who bring a Friend will get to go back to the “Double Tap” paintball range to
shoot until we run out of paintballs, or air! To qualify for the ‘Bonus Paintball’
time for the Scout & Friend, the Friend must meet these requirements:
1. Must not be a registered Scout. Or may have dropped out, but is now
willing to come back to join the Scout Troop.
2. Must camp out for at least 1 night. Either Friday or Saturday.
3. Must have a Medical form on file for the camporee.
4. Must attend all the events on Saturday with the sponsor’s Patrol.

ZombieLand Camporee
Special PLC Briefing!
On April 8th, the entire PLC is invited to attend the Special PLC Briefing. SPL’s
and ASPL’s, QM and PL’s will be briefed on the Camporee activities.
The Briefing will be at the LDS Church, at the same location as Roundtable.
But, the PLC will NOT be attending the Roundtable! This briefing will start at
7pm and run until around 8pm. We will review how the Patrols will run the
games at the Chuckwagon Derby on May 9th. We will give YOU a chance to pick
the game you want to run. We also want feedback on your Pack & Den visits.
How did it go? Is the Pack coming to the Chuckwagon Derby?
Strategy Hints
At each station you will be given a challenge to complete. Make sure you understand
what is expected, and ask questions if necessary. Take a bit of time to plan how you
will attack the task.
Patrols that work together, with each Scout contributing ideas and effort, are likely to
score better than patrols where some Scouts are left out.
Display your patrol flag, and use your patrol yell, at every appropriate opportunity.
Budget your time: There is enough time to visit every station, but only if you don’t
take too long at any one task. Sometimes you will do better to accept a partial score at
a station where you’re having difficulty, so that you can move on to complete other
stations.
SPL Challenge
The Senior Patrol Leaders will have the opportunity to exemplify great leadership at
the ZombieLand Camporee. Can he get to the Cracker Barrel early on Friday &
Saturday? Can he motivate the Troop to get to Flags on Saturday & Sunday, and
Campfire Saturday night? Can he communicate to be the best leader he can be?
The SPL Challenge is a purely individual challenge. He is not competing with other
SPLs. He will create his own set of goals, and see how well he can meet, or exceed
them! Please see the page later in packet that will be his scorecard.

Chuckwagon info for your Pack or Den Meeting visit
Chuckwagon is a lot of fun, but not all Packs come. We want all Cubs to come, so we’re asking you to
visit a Pack or Den meeting and invite the Cubs. It’s as simple as that! Here below is a script for you to
use. Or you can use the bullet points and make up your own script!
Fill in the blanks spaces with your name, Pack number, and Troop number. You can figure it out!
Script:
Patrol Leader: Hi Pack ___! I’m here to tell you about a really, really fun event that is
coming up on May 9th. What day did I say? (Cubs yell back May 9th!) Right! May 9th.
We are Scouts from Troop ___ and we need you to come to the Chuckwagon on, what
day was that again? (Cubs yell back May 9th!) Right, May 9th. We’re going to be there
running a game, just for you!
Who knows what a Chuckwagon Derby is? (Let them guess a couple of times. If they
get it right, great! Either way, you say) Chuckwagon is a competition to see how much
fun you can have, and learn some things, and play some games. Groups of 4-8 Cubs
tow a wagon full of supplies around a field and stop at Game Stations to play. My Patrol
will be there, and we’ll be running a game! Who wants to play a game (or sing a song?)
You DO?
Before we play/sing, here is the important info for your parents & Leaders about the
Chuckwagon Derby:






Chuckwagon is a competitive event. Cubs learn and do games like knots, bean
bag, US history, and Cub knowledge. All while having a fun time!
All Cubs are welcome! Teams should be 4-8 Cubs from all ranks. If you only
have a couple of cubs for your team, let them know ahead of time and they will
team you up with another Pack.
It will be at Chappell Tractor Sports Field in Milford.
The date is May 9th from 8:15 to noon.
Why? Why? You need to ask why? Because it’s so much fun!
To register, Check your email for the flier, or go to nhscouting.org/arrowhead and
click on the calendar and then on May 9th. You’ll be able to register there! Don’t
be hit by the late fee!
Game: Skipping relay race. Have the Cubs line up, with Boy Scouts across the room.
Have the Cubs Skip across to you, and skip back. Or do a Hopping relay. These are
good skills that boys this age are just learning. So it’s not too easy, not too hard!
Song: Do the Pirate song. Or the Camp Carpenter Cheer. Or do Old McDonald with
ranks making their sounds. Tiger grr, Wolf howl, Bear growl, Webelos (ask them what
sound they make!) Or do a song they know.
