Pre-Camporee 2007

This year we were part of the second annual combined Troop Pre-Camporee held at Oxbow Park near Gresham. We participated in games and fun with Troop 606, Troop 474, Troop 220, and ourselves (Troop 542). This years theme was "Team Building."

Opening ceremony. Note the pioneering flagpole, courtesy of our own Troop 542 scouts.

Our camp site.

Marble racing...each member of the team had to be a link in the chain moving the ball from the front of the line to the end of the line as fast as possible.

Working as a team, each member had to spin his nut off the bolt and then back on, in order, as fast as possible.

Make a pancake. The patrol leader could verbally help but could not touch the project. The rest of the patrol worked as a team to mix, cook, and clean-up as fast as possible.

Then the patrol leader had to eat the pancake the patrol cooked. :)

Again, working as a team, the patrol ran a course on land skis as fast as possible.

At the spider wall, the patrol started on one side and then using each hole once, get their team to the other side without touching the web.

White river crossing...the object is to get to the stranded piece of garbage in the middle of the river, rescue it, and get back to shore without falling into the water. Every member of the patrol had to participate.

Knot tying challenge. Tie your selves together and run to the flag and back as fast as possible.

We finished the weekend with a grand breakfast.

Pancakes and honey baked ham.

Closing flag...thanks for a great weekend Troop 542!
