My troop takes camporee very seriously, and has won best troop overall two years running, so we are putting together an intense, sped up program to teach the new boys the skills they need for their events.

I also have a question. My district's camporee this year has a ridiculus event called the pancake toss, and I was wondering if any other districts were having to do that as well.

Never heard of that before, but one can only imagine. We started a Venturing Patrol lately, and our president is from Michigan. Her old Crew made pancakes one day and got one stuck in a tree.

Venture Crews are great as well.

We decided to start a venturing Crew because our BSA Troop was doing everything a Crew does.

As for OA, I haven't been to impressed with our districts. It seems like all we do is have lock-ins and stuff like that. But I can see it as a fun group.

Man, it would be awesome if we could do that, but it costs to much. But it always sounded like fun.
