Message from the 2015 Council Camporee Chairman
Greetings!
The 2015 Council Camporee celebrates the 50th Anniversary of the Denver Area Council Peaceful
Valley Scout Ranch. Building on the successes of the 2012 Council Camporee, we are planning more
than 100 activities and events for Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Venturing Crews and Explorers to enjoy!
We will again offer the Cub Scout Family Camping program on Saturday night.
The Cub and Boy Scout Action Areas and the Midway are centrally located so that different age
groups will mix freely. This provides our Cub Scouts a better look at the kinds of excitement they can
look forward to as Boy Scouts. All participants will be treated to a fantastic Saturday evening
campfire complete with a laser light show finale.
A special thanks to our volunteers, staff, scouting professionals, and sponsors for their support of
this Camporee.
Please take the time now to register your unit or family for this great event. We’ll save your
camping space and be ready to greet you when you roll through the gates on Friday afternoon or
Saturday morning!
See ya’ at the Council Camporee!!

OTHER INFORMATION
Uniforms – All registered Scouts and Scouters should be in Class A uniforms for the drive to Peaceful
Valley Scout Ranch, the trip home, during the Arena Show, and Flag Ceremonies. Unit Leaders and
participants will decide uniform needs for all other times.
Camporee Patches – Each Camporee participant will receive a commemorative patch. Day Visitors
and Family Campers will receive their patches upon check-in.
Radio Communications – Expect limited cell phone service availability at the Camporee. This is due,
not only to the site location, but also the unusually high demand by so many participants on-site.
The use of two-way radio communications as a way to keep in touch with participants is highly
recommended. Standard “Walkie-Talkie” two-way radios as well as Amature Radios (HAM) by
licensed operators, will be most welcome. The Camporee Communications Center will be
monitoring several radio channels in case of emergencies, including channel 9.11 found on most
Family Radio Service “Walkie-Talkies”. Please reserve this channel for emergency use.
FRS “Walkie Talkies” are encouraged for units’ internal use. Range on these is often limited, but can
be a great tool for control, information, and safety within your unit.
Amateur Radio (HAM) may be used by licensed amateur radio operators for enhanced unit
communications.
Amateur Radio Simplex Frequency: Available for informal communications by amateur radio
operators during Camporee. Simplex Frequency: 146.580 Mhz
Amateur Radio Repeater (Simla) Info: 147.105 MHz RX,/147.705 MHz TX /+600 Hz/Tone 107.2
/Repeater ID: WA0DE/R.
The Camporee will host a formal information net, Friday and Saturday nights, 18-19 September
2015 at 1900 Hrs. (MDST). This information net will be used to disseminate information concerning
Camporee program and logistics. The net will meet on the Simla Repeater. Net Control will be by
Camporee Radio Staff. Repeater will be used as an informal “talk-in” frequency for information
during Camporee check-in on Friday, September 18, 2015.
NOTE: Repeater is also used for emergency traffic in Elbert and Douglas Counties, and emergency
traffic takes priority. In the event of emergency traffic, all other traffic will cease on the Repeater
until the emergency situation is cleared.

Games - Original Basketball
Brownsea Island
We all know what basketball is like but back in 1907 it was a little different. The
hoop was not horizontal with the ground but rather vertical and had a canvas
bag around it so a scout not only needed accuracy but also need a strong
throwing arm.
Games - Stave Drills
Brownsea Island
Two scouts stand face to face with each holding their own stave. They then
must tap their staves in a specific order. Once you get the hang of it then try to
speed up.
Games - Stave Fighting
Brownsea Island
Two scouts stand face to face with them both holding the same stave. The goal
is to get your end of the stave down first. While it may sound easy, it is not.
Scouts must use their head and strength to beat there opponent.
