Troop 888 went to Camporee 2024 from April 12th to April 14th. In short, a camporee is a 2-night long campout organized by the Meridian District. The campout is packed with skill and team building games. It also provides a good opportunity to build patrol spirit and bond with scouts in our troop and others.

One major challenge that we faced during this year’s camporee was the rain. There was a lot of rain and it soaked through our jackets and tents. Everyone’s spirits were pretty low, since everyone was freezing cold. Some of the new scouts were sent back, since they were underprepared and they weren’t ready for the rain. 

But, some patrols managed to play a few of the games that were set up. Additionally, we also participated in the cooking competition and made a few outstanding desserts. Troop 888, for the most part, persevered through the elements and showed courage and had a great time, even though it was raining.
