Crosswinds District Camporee
Camp Reeves
April 8-10, 2005
“It was April 8th
on a Friday when we arrived at the
camporee. All of the boy
scouts were exited to go on the camporee
and get their orienteering
merit badge. The new patrol, the
badgers, also came on this camp
out. As soon as we were allowed to
set up our tents it started
pouring down rain. Luckily by the
time the rain got bad we had
our tents up so we jumped inside to get
out of rain. The next day
everything was wet and cold.
Luckily the day turned out to be
nice warm and sunny. We went on many
orienteering classes to learn how
to use a compass and map. Then we took
this big orienteering course to
find checkpoints. After that there was a
test and everyone passed. That
night we had an order of the arrow tap
out and some of the scouts from
our troop got tapped out. We
stayed up a little longer and talked
then we went to bed. When we woke up we
started taking down our tents
and went to the Sunday mass the camporee
managers set up. Later
we packed the cars and headed home. In
the car I was in some of the
scouts were talking about the good time
they had and that they were
going next year to the camporee.”
