Last week, our Council announced that we will be offering our first Capital Camp-In! The event is being presented by the 100 Years of Camping Committee and they need your help getting the word out to the Scouts and the districts. Craig Weston asked me to pass along this message.
Scouters,
Scouters,
Our council-wide virtual camp-out for May 23-24, named the “Capital Camp-In”, is coming together but we definitely need your help to round-up youth lead content for scouts of all ages.
So far, we’ve identified contributors for the opening/closing ceremonies, the campfire and Scouts Own service. We’ve also got guest speakers, some great adult scouter training and enrichment, as well as orientation courses on Powder Horn, Wood Badge and of course, our summer camps.
We’ve got 3 Zoom channels (capacity of 300 participants per channel) and unlimited webinar connectivity reserved for the weekend. We will be doing presentations and activities in one hour time blocks, although the activities don’t need to be that long. The activities or presentations can be pre-recorded or live with Q&A.
Our big need is scout produced and lead content for Cubs, Scouts BSA and Venturing. We only have two identified contributors so far! But we know there are units and scouts in your districts that have been doing fabulous virtual training and fun activities over the past weeks. The talent is out there, for sure. Please locate those scouts and units that like to be on stage or have a passion for sharing their knowledge with others. Ask their unit leader to send me an email and we will schedule them for a time slot on the 23rd or the morning of the 24th.
Also, keep an eye out over the next week for a special web page and Facebook page about the Capital Camp-In. These pages will be the “go to” resource for this event.
Scouting Continues
