big two- or three-day campout highlighted
by competitions for patrols and troops. As
a rule, they are tests of campcraft and
various Scout skills. This program feature
is for use in the month before a camporee.
The program for your camporee will
be developed by the district or council.
Therefore, in planning your troop meet-
ings for this month, check the activities
program which will be issued by the
district or council and base your program
on it.
Troop leaders' council meets this week
to plan details for next month.
