Troop 528 & 628 present: Peshewa District Spring Camporee 2021 The CampaLorian April 16-18 VOLUME 1 LEADER GUIDE What is the Campalorian? The “Campalorian'' is a weekend camporee dedicated to the Star Wars television series titled “Mandalorian.” The Mandalorian follows a bounty hunter from an in-world society of Mandalorians as he meets and defends an infant alien named Grogu. While the name Grogu might not be immediately recognizable, the infant’s nickname of “Baby Yoda'' certainly is. In honor of the Mandalorians’ noble quest to return Baby Yoda to his home, this camporee scouts will be returning their own Baby Yoda to its home. Additionally, this quest will come with nearly as many trials and tribulations as the Mandalorians own quest. Scouts will face challenges unlike any they’ve seen before. This is the way. Be prepared.
