2008 Winter Camporee

It's time again to fill the air with the sounds of .22 rifles and .20 gauge shotguns, broken clay pigeons and the smell of gun powder at the annual Winter Camporee to be held at the Bellevue Rod and Gun Club Jan. 25-27, 2008. Expect new events for patrol and Troop competition as well as many other surprises, in addition to all meals being prepared and served in the lodge. All camping will be outdoors in tents, however if your Troop or patrol wants an indoor spot for camping it is very limited and first come, first served, so register today at the Durham Scout Center!
