Once again we gather to share fun activities and friendly competition. Let us also remember events that have helped shape our county and scout experience. We are grateful for the opportunities that this weekend presents. While we will always be focused on our scout law theme which is A Scout is Helpful, let us also remember the next 4 remaining parts of the Scout Law – friendly, courteous, kind and obedient. Please remember that the Scout Oath and Law are the rules for our weekend together. Scouts and Scouters will be able to demonstrate this weekend each aspect of the scout law in all our activities. Our Order of the Arrow chapter is our premier district wide boy run unit. Remember to visit the Camping Promotion booth and take advantage of the Order of the arrow campsite and snack bar throughout the weekend. Please respect the OA code of silence during the ceremonial walk to the Saturday night program and during the Call Out Ceremony. Let us restate our goal that we believe Camporee should honor each Scout and reward their investment of time and skill for taking this weekend to be together. We also believe that competition refines and improves our abilities and that the fun activities do the same to create the best patrol experience possible. Thank you for the opportunity to help with camporee one more time. God bless each of you this weekend and always and best of luck as you all seek the Big Bear.

The total distance of the obstacle course is 25 yards. • The first group of scouts will rescue the victim by transporting him safely to the other side of the obstacle course. • Then the second group will transport the victim (carrying the same cup of water) back to the finish line slaloming through four traffic cones. Stretcher Relay (first leg of the race) Need two staffs and a blanket for each team to create stretchers; also need paper cups and water. With the victim position as shown (and holding a cup of water on his chest), the rescuers must put him on the stretcher and then proceed to the other side of the obstacle course.

One Scout from Troop 645 will be assigned to each patrol (max 4 at a time) conducting the course. 2. The "Course Master" (T645 Scout) will ask the Patrol to calibrate their steps/distance on the "Calibration Course". Each Patrol will have X minutes to complete. 3. Course Master will then tell the Patrol to proceed to the starting stake and will read off the distance and bearing they are to do. 4. Once the Patrol has agreed on the destination stake, they will inform the Course Master, who will then record the number. Course Master will then give new bearing and distance. 5. Above will be repeated until course is complete. 6. After course is complete, Course Master will note the total elapsed time. Scoring as follows: 1 'pt' for each correct destination stake (total 7 points); including starting stake (freebie point just for showing up). 1 'pt' for completing Calibration Course under alloted time (X minutes) 1 'pt' for completing entire course under a certain amount of time. 1 'pt' for successfully completing entire course under a certain amount of time. Bonus points can be added (up to a max of 10) for the following (if Patrol has perfect Course score, then bonus points won't count): All Scouts conduct Patrol Cheer on first and last stake (1/2 point each). A different Scout operates the compass on each new bearing. Patrol shows: respect, teamwork, and enthusiasm to each other, other Patrols, and Course Master during course. Patrol can put on a short 2-min skit, or sing a song for the entertainment (and appreciation) of the Course Masters (this is a 2pt bonus!) after the completion of the course and initial scoring. Patrol is allowed to backtrack on a stake decision, but at the cost of a 1/2-point deduction. Course Master may only give bearing and distance when asked. No other question may be answered. Exception is if Patrol wants to backtrack, Course Master must then inform that 1/2-point will be deducted on final score. 13 Troop 5 -- Camporee Skit Competition This year a skit activity will be part of the Camporee competitive events. Each patrol should prepare a skit and perform it at the skit audition station located in the Troop 5 area during the Saturday competition period. Each skit will be scored on a scale of 1 to 10. The audition committee will select a number of skits to be performed at the Saturday evening campfire. The list of patrols selected to perform at the campfire will be displayed at the skit audition station following the end of the competition period. Skit duration should be between 2 and 5 minutes in length. Originality and themes reflecting the scout law are encouraged. All themes are expected to be scout appropriate and any skit of bad taste will be disqualified. Point System: Patrol demonstrates scout spirit, performs cheerfully, and has fun – 2 points Skit has full participation of the patrol – 2 points Skit has a clear storyline – 2 points Skit lines are delivered audibly and clearly – 2 points Skit is original – ½ point Skit incorporates props and/or costumes – ½ point Skit has high entertainment value with strong audience reaction – ½ point Patrol demonstrates high stage presence and confidence – ½ point Troop 622 -- Scout Knowledge Camporee 2014 10 points can be earned total Patrols pick up to 10 members to answer the questions( If there aren’t 10 members the members can do it a 2nd time) There are 10 questions picked at random the patrols have to answer The person that will be answering the question will come forward Each member picked tries to answers a question if they cannot they don’t get a point.

Patrols will need to use all of their senses to identify and recall the world that they have encountered. Objective: Observe and correctly record as many items as possible. Procedure: • • • • • The patrol will be lead into the observation area and allowed one (1) minute to observe all of the items. At least one (1) scout must be dedicated to each sense: sight, sound, touch, and smell. (Only those items designated as such may be touched.) Patrols with less than four (4) scouts may complete an equivalent number of senses. E.g., a patrol with 3 scouts will complete 3 senses (sight, plus 2 others). Patrols with more than four (4) scouts will have their sight observations divided by the number of scouts making the sight observations. Non-sight observations (sound, touch, smell) are limited to one (1) scout per sense. Upon exiting the area, the patrol will have two (2) minutes to report their observations, by sense, to a judge. Scouts may not assist each other while reporting their items, i.e., each scout reports only their own observations. Assisted items will not be counted. Scoring: • • • Patrols will be scored on a 10-point scale. Patrols will be scored separately for each sense, based upon a percentage of items identified. Patrols with more than one sight observer will have their sight observations averaged. Scores for all senses will be averaged to attain one final score (1-10 points). 15 16 Boy Scouts of America Orange County Council Rancho San Joaquin District Camporee Activities Commissioner Scout Law Game Object of the Game: To collect as many Scout Law Cards as Possible; ideally completing the set. Playing the Game: Each Commissioner will have a number of cards (random cards), each with a different Scout Law. Camporee Patrols will attempt to collect as many of the cards as possible in order to gain points. To obtain a card from a Commissioner the Patrol Leader must approach the Commissioner and ask if that Commissioner has a specific Scout Law Card. For example, if the Patrol needed a Trustworthy card, the Patrol Leader would approach the Commissioner and introduce himself, identify his Patrol and Unit, and ask the Commissioner if he/she is Trustworthy. If the Commissioner has that card, the card is given to the Patrol Leader. Once a Commissioner is asked for a card, that patrol can not ask that Commissioner for at least five (5) minutes. If the Commissioner does not have the card, or if any Scout other than the Patrol Leader approaches the Commissioner, the five minute wait period goes into effect. Commissioners may not be asked for Scout Law Cards when at the Information Booth or the restrooms. Scout Law Card Distribution will begin after the Flag Ceremony on Saturday Morning and end at 4:00 pm. Game Scoring: Each Scout Law Card is worth one (1) point. The Patrol with a complete set of the Scout Law and the highest point score wins. Second and Third place are also based on points. In the event that no Patrol as a complete set of the highest point score wins. The Patrol scores are registered with the Commissioners at the Commissioners Booth near the O.A. compound between 3 - 4 pm on Saturday. The winning Patrols will be announced at the Campfire. In the case of a tie, the earliest turn-in shall preside. Special Cards: Each Commissioner will have a number of Commissioner Wild Cards. The Wild Cards are awarded to a Patrol when a Commissioner feels that the Patrol has strongly exhibited Scout Spirit. Commissioner Wild Cards are worth the double the value of a normal Scout Law Card (2 points) and can be used for any point of the Scout Law in order to complete the Scout Law set. Up to three (3) Commissioner Wild Cards can be used to complete a Scout Law Card set, but any number can be applied to the Patrol Point Total. A Patrol should never request a Wild Card from a Commissioner. 17 2nd Annual Rancho San Joaquin IRON CHEF Competition Battle Breakfast The Scene: Dawn breaks. It has been a good couple of days on the trail, and you have a tough hike today. Elevation gain, elevation lost a small stream to ford – all necessary to get to your next base camp.
