Palomar Camporee Guidebook

We will need 2 adults per troop to assist with the morning AND 2 adults for afternoon activities. Please provide names upon registration.

Each unit will be invited to explore a country and its culture from a different part of the world.  After you register, your unit leader will be contacted to choose an available country from the list provided.  Units can then theme their campsites and gateways (participants can even wear attire representative of their country in the after) to earn points and prizes.  Choose between these countries...Canada, Australia, Japan, Italy, Spain, Mexico, Brazil, Kenya, Switzerland, Panama, Sweden, Ireland, Scotland, Jamaica, Iceland, France, Germany, Denmark, India, Singapore, Greece, Egypt, Romania, Costa Rica and New Zealand.

 Once a country is selected, it will no longer be available - so make sure to register early!

San Onofre Beach Campout

Posted on Sep 26 2024 - 8:44am

We will be leaving the Community Center at 5:30 PM!! See you all there! Any questions, please reach out!

Come camp with us on the beach of San Onofre. We will camp out, cook, swim/boogie board, play games, eat ice cream and have a camp fire!

Cost $20 per person to troop treasurer and $15 for grub fees to the patrol grubmaster.  

All adults must be registered with BSA to camp. This camp is on the military base. Each adult must also be background checked by Camp Pendleton. Due to the second background check we will need to know who is attending ASAP!  

Each scout MUST pass the BSA swim test to participate in water activities. If scouts are unable, they can take part in all other activities and stay no more then knee high in the water.  If you have completed this at camp this year you are OK. If you have not, we will schedule a time to meet at Adam's Park Pool. This will be an early morning session.

To pass the swim test you must Jump feet first into water over the head in depth. Level off and swim 75 yards in a strong manner using one or more of the following strokes: sidestroke, breaststroke, trudgen, or crawl; then swim 25 yards using an easy resting backstroke. The 100 yards must be completed in one swim without stops and must include at least one sharp turn. After completing the swim, rest by floating.  PLEASE practice this distance. It is 4 laps in the pool and many scouts need practice to build up this endurance.
