Spring Centennial Camporee a Success 26 May 2024
Last weekend, over 400 Scouts, Scouters, and volunteers joined us to kick the centennial celebration into high-gear with the Spring Centennial Camporee. Patrols spent the day competing in challenges at ten stations scattered throughout camp. Could they perform a rescue throw at the waterfront, build a fire in a puddle, or ace trivia questions at camp taken from On the Shore of West Hill Pond? After stations closed, Scouts could attend a patch sale or complete tasks for a special task while Scouters wowed our judges with their desserts in the Cast Iron Chef competition. The evening concluded with a campfire program in the packed amphitheater.
More Centennial events are still to come. Visit campworkcoeman.org/100 for all the details.
