Section Registration Centre
Letter from the Registrar
Welcome to the Carleton Camporee, where you can join your fellow Scouting Groups for a weekend of fun, challenges, and friendships at Fitzroy Provincial Park. There will be games galore, challenges set and awards to be won during the weekend activities. Camp activities shall commence Saturday morning with the traditional Camp Opening and run through the weekend to Sunday morning where we shall all celebrate our participation. All participants shall receive a camp crest. This is an all-section camp, for Beaver Scouts, Cub Scouts, Scouts, Venturer Scouts and Rover Scouts.
Attending Sections develop an activity or challenge ahead of time and submit it to the Activity Coordinators, along with a song, skit and cheer for the evening campfire. All Sections are encouraged to decorate their campsite, provide interesting activities and dress in attire that represents the Space & Aliens Theme.
Scouting Sections should be aware of the following important information:
The deadline for registering your section is end of April 28th after 450 registrations.
The fee for attending the Camporee is set at 20.00$ per person. The registration fee applies to each youth and each adult (including the section's representative on the Event Team).
Extra Crests are 3.00$ including HST. Extra on-site parking passes are 30.00$ including HST.
Scouting Sections must add this cost to their camp budget. Advice and a budget template are available.
It is the individual section’s responsibility to ensure that parents/guardians attending Camporee have completed all the necessary screening steps, and that the necessary forms have been completed for siblings and other non-member youth. See Non-Member Screening for all details and forms.
