Event Description
15 Apr 2025: As a result member unavailability, instead of this event, we will participate in the Outdoor Safety Camporee.
ConnJam is a jamboree we have not been to before.
See the following for more information on the event:
The Scouts must stay with our leaders until we have completed our unit check-in.
Packing
Use our Personal Camping List to ensure you pack the needed items and see our Personal Camping Gear page for descriptions of most of the items needed and for how to use the checklist. You can pack your stuff in a backpack (the big kind), a duffle bag or a tub. Specific items to bring:
- Water bottle
- Day pack
- Tick repellant
- Full uniform (as for just about any event) - wear this.
- Food - Each patrol should plan to provide 2 breakfasts, 1 lunch and 1
dinner. Participants bring your own drinks and food for snacks.
- Money - There will be a trading post and food concessions at the event.
Travel
- We will meet at the Epworth United Methodist Church parking lot at 5:45 PM Friday where we will
pack gear into the trailer and depart by 6:00 PM. Only the participating adults will drive to Orange Fairgrounds / High Plains Community Center which is about a 1 hour 45 minute drive. Only the gear drop-off vehicle (the one pulling the trailer) will proceed to the drop-off location. There are separate parking area for trailers and their vehicles vs. the other vehicles.
- Scouts should be picked up at the church at approximately 12:00 PM on Sunday (+/- 1 hr). We will call family members as our timing becomes more clear.
