Event Description:

This month, Troop 54 returns to Horace Moses SR for a camporee when the camp is not frozen (our last visit there was for a Klondike Derby). The theme of this camporee is Mount Olympus. This camp is operated by the Western Massachusetts Council.

In preparation for the event, the Troop is expected to construct handmade lightning bolts and a chariot. Also, a variety of materials need to be gathered for use during the event.
