Introduction Welcome to the 2017 Texas Skies District Camporee; SCOUT vs. WILD! This year’s theme challenges our young men to Be Prepared. Be Prepared in the event of a challenging situation in the wilderness that requires a cool head, thoughtful consideration, teamwork, and fortitude. The weekend will afford troops an opportunity to focus on Wilderness Survival rank requirements in addition to teamwork and camaraderie. Wilderness Survival requires balanced qualities of the body, will and mind. By blending competitive activities with education and joy of effort, the boy-led planning committee wants the fundamentals of outdoor skills to be learned by way of friendly competition and ethical sportsmanship. Our program will work with all Scouts to foster skills and teamwork. Events are competitive, however the main aim is to practice new and fun skills, sportsmanship and outreach to other Scouts. SPECIAL CAMP BROSIG RULES 1. Speed Limit is 5 miles per hour. Place your “Parking Pass” on your dashboard. 2. Keep vehicles on the road for unloading at campsites. 3. Do not cross any fences as you will no longer be on camp property. 4. Do not dig holes, climb or cut trees. 5. Do not use water troughs in latrines for washing dishes. Grease and debris clog drains.
2017 Registration Fee Structure: • • • •
Boy Scout Camper: $15 Boy Scout Day Staffer: $10 Adult Scouter Camper: $5 Adult Volunteer/Staffer: $0
• $10 Late Fee for walk-ins Registration Procedures: Online Registration: The fun of Camporee is competition and camaraderie. In order to make the competition fair, we are blending all ages and ranks in each competing Patrol. This year, we expect older boys in each Patrol to EDGE Method the competition skills to the younger boys in each Patrol. This will also allow younger boys in your troops to be exposed to your older boys; an activity that our boy-led planning committee felt was important to them as they progressed through Scouting. GO TO the registration link: Instructions for online registration:
1. Go to http://samhoustonbsa.doubleknot.com/event/texas-skies-districtcamporee-2017/2043287. 2. Click "Register" at the bottom of the page.

3. Select the number of Scouts, Scout staff, Adults and Adult staff coming to Camporee and click "Continue". 4. Fill out the form with the name, phone number, and email address of the troop leader at Camporee, select your arrival and departure times, and enter the number of patrols your troop will be organized into at Camporee. Click "Continue" 5. If everything is correct in your cart, click "Checkout" to proceed to the payment page. 6. Select the payment type, enter your payment information, and click "Make Payment". NOTE: if paying by check at check-in, select Pay by Mail and click "Save". Each Troop please volunteer two Boy Scouts to serve as Camporee Staff to help with activities. They will camp and eat with their Troops.
Camping Logistics Patience:
Please be patient and flexible! Everyone is a volunteer trying to make a fun and positive experience for our Scouts. The event was planned by Scouts and some events will go well, and admittedly others may not go well. Things that do not go well are learning experiences for the young men who stepped up to help plan, and they may already feel a bit down about the failure. Complaints and grumbling will cheerfully be accepted as an offer to help next year!
Campsite Assignments: Campsites are pre-assigned based on troop size, so proper registration is critical. A master campsite map will be provided at check-in with assignments. If there are space limitations we may ask small Troops to share campsites.
Arrival at Camp: Check in will open at 5:00 PM on Friday, March 3rd, 2017 There will be a roadside tent on the Camp Brosig driveway prior to entering the parking area. At this roadside tent you will be given a campsite map (see Page: 26 Camporee Layout. An updated map will be provided at check-in) directing you to your Troop’s campsite. You will also receive an updated Camporee Schedule. • Depending on if your vehicle is “essential” or “non-essential”, you will be instructed where to park (see Page 26: Camporee Layout). Essential vehicles (with troop trailers) may proceed to their campsite to quickly disengage trailers. Non-essential vehicles may not proceed to the campsites. If you arrive in a nonessential vehicle be prepared to walk a distance to your campsite. Troops are encouraged to rendezvous in Katy before proceeding to Camp Brosig in order to pack all personal gear, tents, food, etc… into essential vehicles. We will try to allow you to drive vehicles and/or Troop trailers to your campsite but, as of this writing we don’t know if the ground will support vehicles or if the roads will permit two-way traffic. It may happen that Troops will have to carry their gear to their campsites so pack accordingly. • CHECK-IN tent will be at REGISTRATION (see CHECK-IN). Troops should send the Scoutmaster or SPL to CHECK-IN while the Troop’s campsite is being set-up. Bring medical forms, up-to-date counts (camping, patrols, shooting, climbing) and • •
Page |6
an accounting of unpaid funds that are due upon arrival. Saturday arrivals will need to check in at the REGISTRATION tent. Saturday arrivals cannot drive on campsite roads after 8:00AM Saturday even if they are “essential” vehicles.
•
Parking and Vehicles: Only “Essential” vehicles (vehicles with significant camp gear and/or trailers) will be allowed to proceed to campsites. There is a “non-essential” parking area for those vehicles not essential to daily troop function. (see Page 26: Camporee Layout. An update is provided at Check-in.) All passengers must be in seats with seat belts inside the vehicle. No passengers in backs of trucks or on trailers. Respect the directions provided by the volunteers who are directing traffic. Non-permitted vehicles can only unload in the non-essential parking area and must be out of the camping area 60 min. after entry. All Non-permitted vehicles must be out of the camp area by 11 PM Late arrivals (after 11 PM) must leave vehicles in parking lot until 7:00 AM on Saturday and hike to campsite. No driving in camp between 11 PM Friday and 6 AM Saturday or after 8 AM on Saturday Trailers with an attached vehicle (GREEN permit) must stay at campsite until check out

We will use the Patrol Method to communicate information so Scoutmasters and SPLs must attend a Patrol Leader Conference (PLC) at the Pavilion at 9:30PM. The meeting will report final updates on Camporee schedule and rules.
Medical: • • • • •
Medical Forms / Insurance Cards for all attendees, Scout and Scouter must be turned in during check-in Troops are responsible for all medications 24-HR first aid station staffed by a trained First Aid Provider at the FIRST AID Room next to the workshop. Medical forms are returned at the end of camp The most common medical problem at camp is dehydration, even when it is cold. Please carry a water bottle at all times and drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.
Weather and Emergencies •
Life or Death Emergencies: CALL 9-1-1 If you call for emergency services, start at the top of the Council Phone Numbers list and keep calling until you reach someone with the council. All Troops should be fully prepared for weather conditions typical for the time of year. It may rain, shine, be warm and cold on the same weekend. Please bring enough clothing to be as comfortable as possible. • If severe weather or a camp-wide emergency occurs, three blasts on an air horn will indicate that ONE adult leader from each Troop should meet at the registration for instructions. In some cases some or all of the activities may be suspended for safety reasons during periods of severe weather. • Rangers: A SHAC ranger will be available at Camp Brosig at 3:00 pm on Fridays. Brosig typically has a SHAC ranger and campmaster available on the weekends. • Assistance: For assistance, please call a SHAC ranger or volunteer campmaster. • Council Rangers: Steve Stolzer, SHAC Ranger 830-522-0030 Jack Abbott, SHAC Ranger 936-520-3932 • Campmasters Russell Williams, Volunteer 832-816-3694, Campmaster

Alcohol and Tobacco: •
•
Alcoholic beverages are absolutely not permitted at Scouting functions or on Sam Houston Area Council property. Anyone found possessing or consuming alcoholic beverages will be required to leave the site immediately. Tobacco products should be used with discretion and out of the sight and smell of Scouts.
Cell Phones Due to Youth Protection considerations, Scouts should not have cell phones with photo capability at camp. Adults should exercise discretion in their use of electronic devices as some Troops do not allow devices on campouts.
Water and Restrooms: Four latrines are located in the camping area. Event staff should provide toilet paper and hand wash soap. Please leave the latrines cleaner than you found them. Diarrhea is common for many scouts after Camporee regardless of if the event is held at primitive or improved facilities. It is critical that each troop set-up a hand washing station to instill good sanitary practices. There is potable water on-site at Camp Brosig. Each troop should provide containers for transporting and storing water. Bring a wagon to assist the transport effort. Each troop will need a 5-gallon bucket of water for each charcoal fire and each attendee should bring a personal water bottle for use during the program sessions. There are water stations throughout the camp during the competition and afternoon games.
Fire Policy: •
As part of Leave No Trace, it is suggested that you only use cook stoves or elevated fire pits such as a o Dutch Oven table or o Dutch Oven inside a metal pan on bricks Campfires are permitted in the designated fire rings. If Camp Brosig is under a fire ban, you will be informed in the email cover sheet. Gasoline, diesel fuel and other liquids are not to be used to start fires. Please keep fires low and reduce sparks in windy conditions. Have water available to extinguish fire. Fires should be monitored at all times and put out cold before leaving your campsite or going to bed. .
Lanterns and Stoves: • •
Propane-fueled lanterns and stoves may be used. Liquid-fueled equipment using fuels such as Coleman fuel, kerosene, or white gas are SPECIFICALLY PROHIBITED BY SAM HOUSTON AREA COUNCIL POLICY. There should NEVER be any open flames inside a tent. Tent light should be provided where necessary by flashlight or battery powered lanterns.
Page |9
Site Security: Seek permission to enter another Troop’s campsite before entering or passing through.
Damages Leave No Trace (LNT) Practices are required at Camp Brosig. This is great opportunity to teach old and new Scouts how to exercise LNT practices. There will be a LNT class for Leaders on Saturday; see the schedule. Any damage to SHAC Property, Staff area tents, equipment, or other items will be the financial responsibility of the Troop. • Ditching of Tents: No ditching (trenching) of tents will be allowed. • Trees: Attendees are not to cut down or cut branches from any live trees. There are many trees that provide shade and protection. Please be careful of these trees and do everything you can to protect them for your future enjoyment. Needed repairs: If you find camp has been vandalized, had unauthorized use, or damaged in any way contact a SHAC Ranger IMMEDIATELY. ANY SCOUTS FOUND DAMAGING OR DEFACING TREES WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE THIS EVENT.
Assembly: Saturday will begin with morning assembly at the Flagpole at 8:00 AM. We recommend a fast breakfast on Saturday to ensure your Patrols are ready to go at 8:00 AM.
Campsite Inspection: Troops are encouraged to keep their campsites clean and neat. Patrol method should be evidenced in organization of separate Patrol sites within the Troop site. Troops are also encouraged to demonstrate Scouting Skills through construction of a campsite gateway or other camp “gadget” that displays Troop pride and Scouting spirit. Campsite inspections will be conducted during the morning or afternoon program period, and top Troops will be recognized. See appendix for Troop Campsite Inspection Scorecard.
Garbage Disposal: No trash left in campsites after check-out Carry trash home or discard in dumpsters when leaving the facility You are responsible for taking all trash you accumulate during your stay to the dumpster located at the front entrance. You cannot burn your trash. All trash must be in a bag and inside the dumpster. If trash will not fit inside the dumpster, you MUST take it with you. Trash MAY NOT be stacked outside the dumpster or on top of the dumpster. Please remember to check restrooms and other areas you may have used, and remove all trash. Animals will make a mess of trash left in camp. Camp Brosig has recycle bins located near the red barn for aluminum cans and plastic bottles. Please empty liquids, leave caps off and crush bottles. • •

Even experienced groups will have new members who have not been exposed to Leave No Trace principles and skills.
Morning Scout vs. Wild Patrol Challenge (8:30 – 11:30): Patrol Challenge is an inter-Patrol competition, and this year it will consist of seven challenging events located throughout the Camporee area. Patrols will use a map to navigate to the different events, and complete challenges to earn as many points as they can. Patrols will move at their own pace to complete as many challenge events as possible in the time available. Patrols should budget their time wisely, trading off longer wait times at easier or more fun events for shorter wait times at more difficult or less fun events in order to earn maximum points. Scouts may wear their Class As or Class Bs and all shirts should be Scouting in nature. Scouts should have Wilderness Survival knowledge required for Tenderfoot, Second Class & First Class. At each station, Scout judges are watching for teamwork, teachable moments (older boys teaching younger boys) and scout attire. • Inter-Patrol competition • Intended to challenge skills as well as knowledge • Mix Scout ages within Patrols.
