This 2016 Michigan International Camporee Handbook contains a great deal of useful information. Please read it carefully. As soon as you receive this booklet, write your personal information on the first page. Then, as you make new friends during the camporee, write their contact information in the section in the back so you can keep in touch with each other after the camporee. Participant Package This booklet is part of your 2016 Michigan International Camporee (abbreviated MIC 2016 hereafter) participant package, which also includes a Neckerchief (scarf), a Neckerchief Slide (woggle), a Pocket Patch and a Lanyard/Name Tag. If your name is spelled incorrectly on your Name Tag, please inform your troop leader. Additional memorabilia items are for sale at the Camp Store. Your Neckerchief and Slide should be worn to the Opening Ceremony. Your Lanyard and Name Tag are required to be worn at all practical times during the Camporee. You may remove your Lanyard and Name Tag only when necessary, for instance while sleeping, bathing or swimming or for safety purposes in certain activities. 4 Camp Identification Lanyards The Lanyards and Name Tags serve 3 very important purposes: 1. Wearing the Lanyard will indicate that you are legitimately in the Camp. Every person, including visitors and staff, will receive a Lanyard. Anyone found in the Camp without a Lanyard will be investigated and, if necessary, removed from Camp by Security. Please notify Security or any other member of the MIC 2016 staff if you notice someone in Camp without a Lanyard. 2. These Lanyards serve as your meal ticket for camp-wide meals. Unit leaders are also encouraged to require they be worn at in-campsite meals. 3. Below is a chart that shows the lanyard color assigned to each campsite, staff and visitors. One easy way to identify a MIC staff member is by his/her purple lanyard.
