====================================================================Camporee Theme
The black knight (whose symbol is the dragon) has invaded the kingdom of Natchez Trace (whose symbol is the eagle). He has taken the queen and wants to take over the kingdom. It is up to the knights of Natchez Trace to free the queen and to win their freedom back. To do so they must face trials as they prepare for the final battle.
All of the events are designed to help strengthen patrols. So we are asking units to keep the same group of scouts together as a patrol for each event.
Registration
All participants must be registered to attend the Camporee. This includes Boy Scouts, Venturers, Webelos, adult leaders and other adults attending with them, and the volunteer staffers. Webelos can register and may participate in all activities.
Units can register and order their Camporee t-shirts by going to the Middle TN Council website www.mtcbsa.org and click on the “Districts” button. Once there go to the Western Service Area and click on Natchez Trace. Then click onto the calendar and look for the Spring Camporee and click on it. That will take you to the “Double Knot” site for the camporee, and you should be able to register there. That link will be there on November 7, 2014 and units can start registering and ordering their t-shirts at that time. Units having trouble registering should contact the Natchez Trace District Executive Bobby Powell at [email protected].
Forms
Please complete all of the event registration forms in this camporee booklet before the camporee. These forms are designed to help keep the lines down. These forms should be turned in when your unit arrives. Some event leaders may give your patrols a scheduled time for their event. The Scoutmaster and the Senior Patrol Leader will be given the times for these events at the Friday night cracker barrel.
Also, the unit leader must have in his/her possession a completed BSA Health Form for each youth and adult participant. The form is available online at http://www.scouting.org/filestore/HealthSafety/pdf/680-001_ABC.pdf
Note: Part C physical exams by a physician are not required for Camporee participants. Cost
Cost shown is per person Camporee $10.00 (covers patches & port-a-johns)T-shirts $10.00 (optional)
Check-In on Friday
Where to go - Please pay attention to the signs posted as to where to go. Vehicles may be driven to the camp site and unloaded. However, only the vehicle pulling the unit’s trailer may stay in the camp site. There will be NO VEHICLE traffic permitted inside the camping and program areas on Saturday for any reason. This is to ensure the security and safety of all.
Setting Up Your Campsite
Campsites will be handed out on a first come-first serve basis. We are asking troops to camp Jamboree style to keep the campsite area to a controllable size. When setting up, please do not block road access with vehicles or gear.
Water
We are planning to have water buffalos there. However, units should come prepared and bring some potable water with them. At the March roundtable meeting, units will be told if there will be water buffalos at the camporee.
Fires
Ground fires are permitted by units who practice “Leave No Trace” principles. This means the scouts should either bring an above ground fire ring or dig out a fire ring. If your unit digs out a fire ring they should take steps to save the sod to place it back into the fire pit. After the camporee, units should place rocks, logs, and natural debris outside of the camping fields and into the tree line or any other uncut areas.
Check-Out
Camporee is not officially over until after the Sunday service. However, units may leave on Saturday. Be sure to stay until after “The Finale” at the Camporee Trading Post (4:15 p.m. – 4:30 p.m.) All units are asked to make sure that they check out with the Camporee Staff prior to leaving.
OA Call Out
The Order of the Arrow will be conducting the call out ceremony during the Saturday Camporee camp fire. Unit elections should have been conducted before the Camporee. Units are asked to turn in their list of all OA elected candidates who are attending the camporee to the OA member at the Camporee Trading Post. If your unit has not held its election, please contact the OA member at the Camporee Trading Post.
Camporee Trading Post
The Order of the Arrow will be run a trading post. All of the profit of the trading post goes toward the Order of the Arrow. The trading post will open on Saturday from 9:30 a.m. until 12:00 and reopen at 1 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. Some of the items that will be sold are hamburgers, chips, and drinks. However, the trading post will be closed during the lunch and dinner hours. The camporee staff will be using the trading post during those hours for their meals. They will also be conducting a staff meeting during that time, so we are asking all scouts and leaders to be in their camp site during those hours.
Camporee T-Shirts
Units may pre-order their very own Camporee t-shirt. The t-shirts will be the color “Carolina Blue” and will be a “DryBlend 50 Cotton/50 Poly” t-shirt. The t-shirt will have the same design as the Camporee patch, located on the front cover of this booklet. The cost is S-XL $10, 2XL $11, and 3XL $12. Profit from the t-shirt sales goes to the Order of the Arrow. Units can pre-order their Camporee t-shirt on “Double Knot”. Units will be able to pick up their Camporee t-shirts at the Camporee Trading Post. The cutoff date for pre-orders is March 10, 2015.
Saturday Evening Campfire
The campfire program will consist of Awards and Skits.
No later than 5:00 PM on Saturday the Troop Senior Patrol Leader will present the skit or song idea to the Camporee Committee member at the Camporee Trading Post who will decide if the presentation will be suitable and appropriate. The time limit for each skit is three minutes. Troops with skits or songs will contribute points to their troop’s overall points toward the overall top troop contest.
Camporee Staff
Each unit is asked to provide an adult or Life or Eagle Scout (must be 14 or older). These individuals will be helping to run the Camporee itself. Some of them will also be characters in the skits. They should be dependable and live by example the Scout Oath & Scout Law. Units should submit their names when they register for the camporee. The first 25 staff members will receive a free limited addition Camporee t-shirt. The Camporee Staff will have a pre-Camporee meeting before the Camporee on March 8, 2015. Saturday, during the Camporee, the OA will feed the Camporee staff lunch and dinner. Units having further questions about Camporee staff are asked to contact Richard Cole @ [email protected] or call him at 615 473-6328.

ArcheryDo you have what it takes to be a Medieval Archer? Test your skills on the range. Notch your arrow on the bow, draw back the string, take aim at the target, and fire.
Scoring: Points will be based on accuracy. The patrol with the highest points will win. The adjusted score will be calculated by the best score of each boy in the patrol and then average the whole patrol’s score.
Score = X / Y + SX = Total value of best score of each memberY = Total number of patrol membersS = Scout Spirit (0-5)
Crossing the MoatAs a Scout of the Natchez Trace it is your duty to help your king by crossing the moat to take the castle. In order to do this, you must safely cross the moat without falling into the contaminated water that encircles the castle.The distance is approximately 30 feet. Wading or swimming is impossible because of the Zombie alligators and you would drown from the weight of your armor. Luckily, there are several cinder blocks located in the moat between the bank and the castle wall. The patrol may only use the materials available: the cinder blocks in the water; (2) 25' sections of rope; and (two) long planks to cross the moat. Choose your path wisely.
Scoring: This is a timed event. Scouts who fall off the bridge or otherwise touch the "water" are deemed to have been eaten by the Zombie alligators. Scouts not crossing will be seen as eaten. The fastest adjusted time will win. The adjusted time will be calculated based on the following formula:
Score = T - X + ST = Value of the clocked time from start to finishX = Total number of Scouts eatenS = Scout Spirit

Scoring: Each patrol will use the catapult provided to slay the dragon. The dragon will have milk jugs as targets and the patrol will have to use the catapult and ammunition to knock off the milk jugs. All patrol members must be present during this trial. If a patrol doesn’t knock down any of the targets than that patrols Time Score will be zero (0). Patrol will have no more than 5 minutes to slay the dragon. The adjusted score will be calculated based on the following formula:
Score = T + X + Y + ST = Value of the clocked time from start to finishX = Total number of targets successfully knocked offY = Total number of pieces of ammunition not used in this eventS = Scout Spirit
Knight’s Training
