Camporee Event Team
Come join us on the Event Team to organize and run the Carleton Camporee.
All Event Team members attend organizing meetings, as necessary.
Youth are encouraged to seek Event Team positions.
Who are we?
We are local youth and volunteers of Scouts Canada.
The Event Team plans and operates ('executes') this event. Most event team members are 'section representatives', a volunteer from each section committed to attending the event, while a few others offer their service regardless of whether they are associated with a committed section.
Some section representatives need to attend with their section, while others attend 'with the event'.
Youth are encouraged to take roles on the Event Team, including Co-Chair, and will receive adult support when doing so.
What do we do?
The Event Team holds 4 to 5 virtual meetings to plan the event, and one meeting afterward as celebration and review. Most members take on a role (with 1 or 2 others) to complete a particular task.
Offer-of-Service and Team members with equipment duties gather equipment the evening before the event.
On the Friday of the camp, the Team arrives early, before participants, and sets up Headquarters. The Team also completes teardown, which takes 1 to 2 hours after participants leave.
