October 28-30, 2016 2016 Fall Camporee – “Trauma-Rama” - (Packet v1.1) - Page 1 of 27
Forward: This year’s Camporee has been a joint project in development by 4 districts for over 2 years. Bull Run, Sully, Occoquan, Patriot Districts of the National Capital Area Council, Boy Scouts of America. This event is open to all registered Scouts, Scouters and Units of the Boy Scouts of America. It also engages volunteers and partners from across Northern Virginia to include, the American Red Cross, the Military District of Washington DC, Prince William County Fire Department, Fairfax County Fire Department, Volunteer Prince William County, Prince William County Public Schools, Search & Rescue of Virginia.
Theme: This year’s Fall Camporee is entitled “Trauma-Rama” and the Camporee Committee has chosen as its theme: “Emergency Preparedness in Action”. This event will introduce or reinforce several of learning objectives captured from the requirements associated with First Aid, Emergency Preparedness as well as Search & Rescue merit badges. The camporee is not intended to teach these skills as a primary bases for completing the requirements of these merit badges, but will assist Scouts in gaining skills in these important areas
First Aid has long been a key element of the Boy Scouts world program. Undoubtedly, countless lives have been saved as a direct result of the lessons young men and women first learned in lifesaving as a scout. For this reason, the committee has chosen to use this a central focus for the camporee. Companion merit badges Emergency Preparedness and Search & Rescue lend themselves in support to build a solid framework and offer a rich learning environment.
Saturday morning will be dedicated to skills instruction and development. On Saturday afternoon scouts will engage in a unique exercise specifically designed to reinforce these skills in a practical and controlled stressful environment.

Philosophy of the Camporee
This Camporee is strongly guided by both the motto “Be Prepared” and the slogan “Do a Good Turn Daily.” It seeks to utilize the Aims & Methods of Scouting to support and emphasize these elements. Aims of Scouting The Scouting Program has three specific objectives, commonly referred to as the "Aims of Scouting." They are character development, citizenship training, and personal fitness.
Methods of Scouting The BSA employs 8 methods by which the aims are achieved, listed below in random order to emphasize the equal importance of each.
Patrols The patrol method gives Boy Scouts an experience in group living and participating citizenship. It places responsibility on young shoulders and teaches boys how to accept it. The patrol method allows Scouts to interact in small groups where members can easily relate to each other. These small groups determine troop activities through elected representatives.
Ideals The ideals of Boy Scouting are spelled out in the Scout Oath, the Scout Law, the Scout motto, and the Scout slogan. The Boy Scout measures himself against these ideals and continually tries to improve. The goals are high, and as he reaches for them, he has some control over what and who he becomes.
Outdoor Programs Boy Scouting is designed to take place outdoors. It is in the outdoor setting that Scouts share responsibilities and learn to live with one another. In the outdoors, the skills and activities practiced at troop meetings come alive with purpose. Being close to nature helps Boy Scouts gain an appreciation for the beauty of the world around us. The outdoors is the laboratory where Boy Scouts learn ecology and practice conservation of nature's resources.
2016 Fall Camporee – “Trauma-Rama” - (Packet v1.1) - Page 8 of 27
Advancement Boy Scouting provides a series of surmountable obstacles and the steps for overcoming them through the advancement method. The Boy Scout plans his advancement and progresses at his own pace as he meets each challenge. The Boy Scout is rewarded for each achievement, which helps him gain self-confidence. The steps in the advancement system help a Boy Scout grow in self-reliance and in the ability to help others.
Associations with Adults Boys learn a great deal by watching how adults conduct themselves. Scout leaders can be positive role models for the members of the troop. In many cases a Scoutmaster who is willing to listen to boys, encourage them, and take a sincere interest in them can make a profound difference in their lives.
Personal Growth As Boy Scouts plan their activities and progress toward their goals, they experience personal growth. The Good Turn concept is a major part of the personal growth method of Boy Scouting. Boys grow as they participate in community service projects and do Good Turns for others. Probably no device is as successful in developing a basis for personal growth as the daily Good Turn. The religious emblems program also is a large part of the personal growth method. Frequent personal conferences with his Scoutmaster help each Boy Scout to determine his growth toward Scouting's aims.
Leadership Development Leadership Development. The Boy Scout program encourages boys to learn and practice leadership skills. Every Boy Scout has the opportunity to participate in both shared and total leadership situations. Understanding the concepts of leadership helps a boy accept the leadership role of others and guides him toward the citizenship aim of Scouting.
Uniform The uniform makes the Scout troop visible as a force for good and creates a positive youth image in the community. Boy Scouting is an action program, and wearing the uniform is an action that shows each Scout's commitment to the aims and purposes of Scouting. The uniform gives the Scout identity in a world brotherhood of youth who believe in the same ideals. The uniform is practical attire for Boy Scout activities and provides a way for Boy Scouts to wear the badges that show what they have accomplished.

Program theme and its connection to advancement:
While the camporee will be connected in theme to key rank requirements as well as First Aid, Emergency Preparedness and Search & Rescue merit badges. The sessions and events of the camporee are intended to introduce or reinforce the program development and learning gained at the patrol and troop level. The camporee is not intended to be the primary source of education and instruction on these critical skills.

Trauma-Rama Saturday Morning Activities
The Saturday morning program will run from 08:30 – 12:30. Following the opening ceremonies. It will be a round robin training opportunity with three program areas: • First Aid • Search & Rescue • Emergency Prep
As stated previously, the intent of the training hours is to either reinforce previously received training or to familiarize Scouts with new areas they may not have had an opportunity to be trained on.
DO NOT HAVE SCOUTS SHOW UP WITH BLUE CARDS
Given the time available the training focus will be to familiarize participating Scouts, on Emergency response skills and prepare them for the afternoon practical exercise. The Saturday morning training should be a capstone to training Troops and patrols have been doing in preparation for the Trauma-rama. The intent of the training is for Scouts to have an opportunity to train with experts in the field, not to make the Scouts experts. We hope to expose Scouts to real world trainers so they can get a greater appreciation to the material.
Each Program Area will be designed to teach 350-400 youth in a 1 hour block of time. The hour will be scheduled to accommodate for transitioning. Scouts will move through the training as patrols not as individuals or by troop. Patrol leaders are responsible for moving their patrols through the training. This is important since the afternoon exercise will require the patrols to operate as a cohesive unit.
Program Areas will be divided into “Activity Sections”. The following is a general breakdown of the Subject Areas and their sub sections
First Aid • Splints / Broken Bones • Litters & Carries • Hurry Cases (Sever Bleeding)
Search & Rescue • Bugout Bag essentials • Landing Signals • Triage
Emergency Prep • Concepts in SAR • Maps • Hasty Search & Tracking
2016 Fall Camporee – “Trauma-Rama” - (Packet v1.1) - Page 21 of 27
Program areas will not change, however due to volunteer organizations assisting the staff, the activity sections may be adjusted from the map as displayed in this leaders guide. . Troops are encouraged to build training into their fall programs that cover the above material. The morning program will serve as an opportunity to take their training to the next level.
Units who are familiar with the advancement requirements previously listed in this leaders guide will be well prepared for the weekend as a whole.
Activities will be conducted in round-robin fashion each lasting 20 minutes. 5 minutes will be allotted to transition between stations 10 minutes will be allotted to transition between activity areas
