West Point Camporee 2023

EVENT FLYER

There are more than 250 Cadet volunteers and around 6,500 Scout and Scouters from around the Nation participating in this event, so Troops have been limited to 25 spots.

Our Troop is registered as “Light Fighters” which requires us to backpack into our site via a steep trail over challenging terrain both in and out of the Camporee. The hike is approximately three (3) miles of mixed terrain. During the Camporee Scouts will participate in competitive military themed events and have hands on contact with light and heavy weapons under the guidance of the Cadets. There will be live-action battle scenarios conducted by Cadet actors involving vehicles, weapons and aircraft. Saturday night after religious services there will be a large bonfire with music.…
