All participants must be registered and involved in the program.  Registration fees cover the cost of the park use, program, patches, insurance and prizes. Early estimates from troops of the number of attendees will greatly assist in the purchase of program supplies.

 

 

Refund Policy - Cold or wet weather is not a valid reason to cancel a camporee registration. In the highly unlikely event the camporee is entirely cancelled due to extreme weather conditions or other Act of God, all pre-paid registrations will be returned minus a charge for actual costs incurred. 

 

Campsite Assignment - Upon arrival at the camporee site, an adult leader should report to the check-in station to get their campsite assignment and to turn in a final roster of scouts attending the camporee (this roster is mandatory).

Cracker Barrel - A review of the weekend program, to include a safety briefing, will be conducted at 8:30 pm Friday evening, followed by a cracker barrel.  Each unit must be represented by a Senior Patrol Leader or his designated leader.

 

Traffic Control and Parking - Park policy prohibits personal vehicles from driving on any grass areas.  There will be NO parking at or driving to the campsites! Vehicles also present a safety hazard on a campground. Upon entering the park, you will follow the road to the parking lot on the left. Please do not stop along this road. All vehicles will be parked in a parking space. Individual gear will have to be carried into the sites, a distance of less than an eighth mile. Trailers must remain in the parking lot!!

 

Troops are encouraged to car pool as much as possible and arrange to have as few cars as possible remain at the Camporee parking lot.

Emergency Contact - It is recommended that units have access to several cellular phones, which could be used as a primary contact for members of their unit. The office number for Curtis Park is 540-752-5660, but it should only be used in case of a real emergency.
