Introduction
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away….
The Scouts were a clan-based cultural group, that was composed of member from multiple ethnic tribes all bound by a common culture, a scout oath, and scout laws. They originated from varies charter organizations, where scouts are trained in the outdoor code, earned merit badges, and skilled in leadership thru countless hours mentoring from their Scoutmasters in hopes to earn the sacred rank
of Eagle.

Letter to Scouts and Scouters
“This is the way” A Scout’s Journey to Eagle April 30, 2021 – May 2, 2021
Welcome back to Bonner North!
Theme: Mandalorian – This is the way. “A Scout’s Journey to Eagle” Scouts with their patrol will make camp at Camp Bonner North. Units and their patrols will make camp within their traditional districts. Gateways are encouraged based on the current year theme. Patrol tenting and cooking methods are to adhere with current year guidance. All scouts ranking from first year scouts to seasoned Eagle scouts are encouraged to journey onto Camp Bonner North and visit the three Districts: Northern, Central, and Southern. Each district will showcase their sub-themes. In the South, scouts are to demonstrate their scouting skills and the knowledge of Citizenship requirement to reach the rank of Eagle Scout. The South will challenge scouts and their patrol to work together as a team. “Present Scout Skills” hosted by the Northern district will challenge scouts and their patrol on basic survival skill such as fire building and knot tying. “Future Scouts – STEM” hosted by the Central district will challenge scout patrols with a Geocaching event to retrieve hidden treasures. Scouts will also participate in a rocketry event, where each scout will compete with launching air-power rockets. Points are important, and patrol score sheets and logs should be maintained by the patrol leader. Ribbons will be awarded, and top patrol awards will be given based on their patrol score. Districts will compete for the Top Gateway award, and a Camporee wooden staff will be awarded to the best patrol. The Camporee wooden staffs mark their patrol’s achievement each year. Inaugural wooden staff will be etched with Troop number and patrol each year.

GENERAL RULES & HOUSEKEEPING ITEMS
It saddens me to no end to have to place these items in the Camporee Book.
If you are involved in any of these below items, you are NOT following the Scout Law, nor following the Scout Oath. These are at the core of what you are supposed to be as a Scout. Please think before you act!
It only takes a few scouts (or parents) to tarnish the reputation of many!!
1) Camp Bonner North is your home away from home, Scouts. Treat it as such! Vandalizing or destroying Camp property is a criminal offense. If you want to act like a criminal, you will be treated as such. Any Scout caught vandalizing or destroying camp property will be escorted to the camp headquarters. Your parents will be called. The police can be called and charges of vandalism can be filed against you. Your parents will be asked to take you home for the remainder of Camporee. In addition, since the buddy system is in effect, you would have had to act with a partner in doing your crime. Therefore, the patrols of each Scout caught vandalizing and destroying camp property will be disqualified from competition or winning any awards. In the past, at Camp Bonner North, there have been bathrooms vandalized or nearly destroyed. You will be watched! 2) Swimming in the Pamlico River (or anywhere at Camp Bonner North during Camporee) is strictly forbidden by scouts, or adults. This includes wading in the river. Please respect this rule! Parents, please set the example. Young eyes are watching! 3) Absolutely no drugs or alcohol should be brought on the Camp, nor used/consumed at the Camp. This includes in your vehicle. If you’re caught, appropriate actions will be taken. Also, as a general rule, there is to be no smoking or tobacco use in the campsites and around Scouts. This includes dipping and vaping! Please use the designated smoking areas.
8 | Page
LEAVE NO TRACE!! Again, this is at the core of what we, as scouts, are supposed to be doing. If you see trash laying on the ground, please pick it up and place it in the nearest trash can. Accidents do happen and sometimes wrappers and other items get loose. It’s understandable. However, we should be leaving Camp Bonner North better than we found it.

Refund requests for scouts or adults who depart early from camp will not be honored.
MEDICAL FORMS: All Camporee participants are required to complete and submit an Annual Health and Medical form. Site Chiefs may ask units to see the Medical Forms and retain the right to remove a unit from camp if forms are not complete. This is the new A&B form on the newly released medical form. (A doctor’s signature is not required for this event). The Medical form can be found on the East Carolina Council (eccbsa.org) website under “Forms” which is under the “MORE” drop-down menu.
CAMPOREE PATCH: Extra patches, if any, will be sold after noon on Saturday at the Council Camporee trading posts. You will receive your Camporee patches at the Camporee Headquarters upon check in.
ARRIVAL AT CAMPOREE: Your unit should plan to arrive at the Camporee on Friday. All troops/crews should report directly to the HQ after getting screened and parking your vehicles in the designated areas. HQ will inform unit of campsite assignment at that time. After registering, it is suggested you go to your assigned site and set up camp. Vehicles will be allowed into the campsite area and vehicles park along the road side, except for Plantation Road as it is a private road. It is highly encouraged to have the Patrol pack it ALL in.
WEBELOS CAMPING: To promote Boy Scouting, Troops are encouraged to invite Webelos Scouts to attend and camp with the Troop. Each Webelos Scout must have one adult as a supervisor. From the Guide to Safe Scouting: A Webelos Scout may participate in overnight den camping when supervised by an adult.
11 | Page
In most cases, the Webelos Scout will be under the supervision of his parent or guardian. Refer to scouting.org website for current regulation https://www.scouting.org/health-and-safety/gss/ggs03 or to East Carolina Council NCAP Advisor, Rick Nezbeth. It is essential that each Webelos Scout be under the supervision of a parent-approved adult. Joint Webelos den/troop campouts including the parents of the Webelos Scouts are encouraged to strengthen ties between the pack and troop. Den leaders, pack leaders, and parents are expected to accompany the boys on approved trips. Only adult parents may sleep with Webelos, not approved adults.
In addition, those Webelos scouts who do attend will not be able to participate in the competitions. Instead, Webelos Patrols are encouraged to coordinate with their associated troops prior to registration so that they may arrange for their Webelos Patrols to shadow the Troop’s patrols. This will strengthen the bond between the Webelos and the Scouts and better prepare the Webelos for Camporee’s once the cross over into a Scouts BSA unit. LEADERS MEETING: All individuals who have volunteered to work an event will meet at 8:30pm Friday night at HQ. Unit Leaders and unit SPLs(or their designee)meeting at 9:30pm at Camp HQ. Make sure that your unit is represented at the leader’s meeting to get important information about Saturday’s activities for both Scout leader and the Senior Patrol Leader. Please limit participation to 2 people per unit to keep the gatherings small for our COVID precautions. FLAGS: Each Unit is requested to bring their Unit Flag to the Camporee and display them in their campsites. We ask that you also bring your unit flags and patrol flags to the Flag Ceremony on Saturday morning. Patrol flags should also be brought and carried when competing in the events. Please leave Troop flags in your campsites during the Campfire Service.
12 | Page
UNIFORMS: Scouts should wear their Class A Field Uniform to campfire and chapel. Scouting T-shirts/Class B/Activity Uniform, are to be worn for activities throughout Saturday. OA members are requested to wear their sash at campfire. CAMPFIRES IN THE CAMPSITES: Due to COVID-19 we have to pass modified guidance in regard to the utilization of campfires in the campsites. The reason for this is that campfires are a point of gathering that does not promote social distancing. The Council risk management team will make a call at the beginning of the camporee if campfires will be authorized in the campsites. If campfires are authorized, units will need to use multiple above ground fire pits in order to promote social distancing. In addition, all campers will be required to wear a mask and observe social distancing guidelines when gathering around campfires. FIRES: On-ground fires are ONLY permitted in the predefined, designated, established campfire ring. NO EXCEPTIONS. Any unit caught violating this rule will only be dismissed from camp by the Site Chief after he has confirmed that the unit has sodded the damaged area with Pinehurst No. 2 quality sod. Any unit wishing to have their own fire in their campsite must utilize a raised fire pit. The fire pit must have enough clearance so as to not damage the grass beneath it and stable enough as to not cause any potential danger to scouts. This includes Dutch ovens and charcoal chimneys. Don’t be that guy.
CAMPING: It is suggested to camp light--try a weekend that you truly pack it in on your back. This is a great time to introduce backpack and/or ultralight camping. Most of all, have FUN! Campsite assignments will be given to unit leaders prior to the Camporee.
