Tent on Friday evening at 9:00 pm. At this meeting you will be given information
regarding the camp rules and format. However, you will receive your medallions on
Saturday morning.
Projects: On Saturday morning you are responsible to have your whole patrol
together to collect your medallion at the Registration Tent at the assigned time.
You will be eating in the project area and will not be allowed to return to your
site during the day. At the end of the day (before returning to your campsite) you
will return your medallion to the registration tent.
IMPORTANT: You are competing in projects all day, regardless of weather conditions,
so dress appropriately. Uniforms are not needed during the competition
Scoring: Patrols are being marked out of ten or multiples of ten. The marking
scheme is as follows: Sign In = 2, Sign Out = 2, Completion of Project = 2, and
Teamwork = 4. When signing in / out, use your unit #, be polite, give the Scout
sign and identify yourself. Do not forget to thank the leaders for running the project
and allowing you to participate. Courtesy as always, please. Your patrol will
only receive your first score per project and qualifying participation is only based
on that first score.
Start Now!! To be well prepared for Operation Alert, you and your patrol
needs to work on a multitude of skills including knots and lashings; compass; fire
safety; environmental issues; camping skills and of course Teamwork. A good attitude
and well performing team is important to your success.
Important Notes:This is a scout reserve - Stay on the paths and cleared areas
/ walkways. This is a self-contained troop camp; therefore you must be prepared
with your own water. Remind your Troop Scouters, that registration forms and health
cards are a necessity. Prior to leaving and issuance of crest, the Campsite Coordinator
or delegate will inspect all sites.

will NOT be returning to their campsites. Projects will continue after lunch.
IMPORTANT:
- The patrols can free flow throughout the entire project area in the morning and
afternoon

in the interim.

the youth during their participation. If there is a specific need, please advise
the Project Coordinator or the Registrar ASAP.
