This is what you all have been waiting for… Camporee Overview! The activities and how they were as follows: Basketball Throw, be quick and accurate, the staffers say a lot of kids goofed around but they all looked like they had fun! Hockey slap shot, really fast for best results and highlight for the kids I talked to. Dodge ball, extremely fun for the throwers at least and was funny to watch the Scout leaders run from their kids. Shotput, strength to the test! Archery, a classical aiming challenge that is always fun! Rifle, a true game of aiming, accuracy, and experience. Lasso, I heard that to no avail many troops went with only 1-2 points at the hard activity. ‘Hawk throw, this is a hand-eye precision game thats always a hit! Horseshoes, a game of accuracy and luck. Car bash, I think can be summed up as mallet power, amazing fun, and a number-one hit! Founders Day was a relaxed look at some of the fun jobs. I personally saw the jaws of life destroy the already battered car. Yhe bomb squad let a few people try on the suits and talked about the importance of a bomb-bot. Almost every troop participated in the ballista or chariot competition, some even were in both! This was the best Camporee I have been to, and was told by many kids this was fun for them too!

If you haven’t signed up to staff or haven’t been to a recent meeting to sign up contact Roger or Garrett Virgin. We’ll need everyone in Okiciyapi Chapter to help! There are multiple jobs that need to be filled, but before you sign up pay and register through your troop and please check with your SPL and Scoutmaster to make sure they don’t need you. In the meeting we talked about the Camporee and the big sucsess it’s turning out to be. We have a few station youth leaders pre-determined, but if you don’t know what you want to do e-mail me and I will try to get you a post. The Arrowmen at the meeting there made a unanimous decision for a Trading Post to be set up. I truly belive this is going to be HUGE and talked about years to come! After this is all over we all owe Mr. Virgin a big big thank you! if you need to contact me please do so through joedemond@cableone.net.

It’s that time again! On March 5-7 (Camp Wisdom) and May 14-16 ( Camp James Ray) we will need Elangomats, Assistant Elangomats, Service corps., and a ceremony team. For the March ordeal there will be plenty of service opportunitities at Wisdom like picking up the broken branches from the snow.  There is an estimated 100 candidates going, so let’s have a good Okiciyapi representation. If you sign up through Miki then you will get an Email to confim your staff registration.
