will be based around theme (but just for fun). Bring your best themed costume
to join in on the fun. Watch for more detail and especially for updates on
the Facebook group or event page. Friday
night: time to set up your camp, participate in some gathering
activities and discover who is in camp. For Rovers, this is often the first
time they have gotten together since their last camp as many Rover continue
to be engaged in the Crew but may be away at school in the weeks in between. Opening
is scheduled for about 10:00 pm but could be as late as midnight. Saturday
morning: Activities in the field (to gather points for your Company,
Crew, TREX or Rangers), activities in the archery range in the basement of
Council Hall and time to prepare your answers to the Scavenger Hunt. Saturday
afternoon: Different activities in the field (to gather points for your
Company, Crew, TREX or Rangers), activities in the archery range in the
basement of Council Hall and time to prepare your answers to the Scavenger
Hunt. Saturday
Lamb BBQ and Pot Luck Dinner: prepare your favourite or most
successful dinner dish to add to the feast at Council Hall. (Why lamb?
Because the first Zoo Moot theme animal was Ewe. Why let it go to
waste?) Pies, pies and more pies! Saturday
Night: Dance/Rave at Council Hall, bring your best dress. The adjacent
room is a great place for sharing munchies, card games, networking, etc. when
you aren’t bopping to the beats. Sunday: Gather for camp closing after breakfast and
benefit from the amazing awards the committee have set up. Registration: Register online: http://www.whitbyscouts.org/machform/view.php?id=89979 Important
