2023 Fall Camporee

Posted on August 16, 2023 by Alex Begg

Pio Pico District will be hosting our 2023 Fall Camporee on October 6-8, 2023 at Prado Regional Park, 16700 Euclid Ave, Chino, CA 91708.

The cost is $30 per person. Units can now register on the Council website at https://scoutingevent.com/033-PioPicoCamporee.

To participate in the upcoming Camporee with the captivating theme of Ancient Egypt, we kindly request that you register as a Scout Unit rather than individual registrations. This will help us streamline the process and ensure a seamless experience for everyone. Upon successfully registering your unit, a comprehensive email containing essential information for the Camporee will be sent your way.

We’d like to emphasize that there won’t be any day-use option available for this event. Hence, we kindly ask you to include all attendees, including Scouts and accompanying leaders, within your unit’s registration. Let’s embark on this thrilling adventure through time together and make lasting memories at the Ancient Egypt-themed 2023 Fall Camporee!
