 TreasureIsland Camporee - July 13-20, 2008

 

It was truly a Girl Scout

Camping Extravaganza!

 

We hope that all of the participants and volunteers had a wonderful experience camping on the Bay and had a safe trip home. We know that the wind was a bit more than expected for the week and of course, has been much calmer and warmer since the event ended.

The views were incredible, the camaraderie amazing and your core team hopes that you are looking for other camporee's to attend or thinking about planning one in your area. If so - let us know!

Where did the participants coming from?

We have close to 400 attendees coming from 15 states and 5 countries other than the United States:

Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Idaho, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New York, Oregon, Texas, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, Anglia, Belarus, Hong Kong, New Zealand and Wales.

Ashes List

The ashes list is amazing! The first entry is from 1907 and the list is 56 pages long!

Candle Ceremony

Some have asked for the script that was read from and for a list of where the candle was lit from. Here is the text to the ceremony, however, we don't have the complete history of the candle. The candle that was used was lit from a similiar ceremony that was at Star North West in 2002.

We were very lucky to have Melinda Caroll write a song for the Camporee. For a limited time we are able to offer a free download Make The World A Better Place (click on link to hear the song or right click and choose "save target as" to save to your local machine) and lyrics. We hope that everyone enjoyed the song!
