Join us September 20th - 22nd at Ed Bryant Scout Reservation for the 2024 Council Camporee.

SIEGE OF MAFEKING
Our theme and patrol competition is the Siege of Mafeking. The Siege of Mafeking was a 217-day siege battle for the town of Mafeking in South Africa during the Second Boer War. The Mafeking defending forces totaled around 2,000, the British garrison armed 300 African natives with rifles, and used to guard the perimeter. Prior to the siege, Lord Edward Cecil formed the Mafeking Cadet Corps of boys aged 12 to 15 who acted as messengers and orderlies and released men to fight. Robert Baden-Powell was the British commander during the siege of Mafeking.

On Saturday there will be programs offered at shooting sports and cope and climbing. Scouts will be provided with a passport where they will collect stamps from the different stations that their patrol visits. Program will also consist of night manuerver competitions from 7:00 PM to 12:00 AM on Saturday.
