Re: Anyone there? Camporee Ideas Needed

Now that Doug Nunnally has embarrassed me by asking again about camporee
ideas *g*, I thought I would suggest a kernel of an idea...
In 1993, my former council held their first council camporee (the council
was formed in '92 by a merger) at the North Carolina Zoo. They are
returning there again next April.
Part of the registration fee included a pass to the Zoo for the weekend.
Scouting events were held throughout. I believe camping space was provided
elsewhere and NOT in the zoo proper. ....although I know a few kids that
sure act like wild animals at times! *bg*
The leaders in my former area are resistant to this idea... but they are
resistant to anything that sounds like a camporee, is planned by council and
not in "The Mountains." They also didn't like the scheduling for this
event: the weekend after Easter. In NC the "beach season" unofficially
starts on Easter and many families go away that week since schools are
closed.
Anyway... there's my 2 cents on camporee ideas!
