Powahay Troops will be once again gathering for the Annual Fall Camporee at Hoyt Scout Reservation, October 14-16, 2022. Troop 35 Darien is the host Troop and is planning an exciting weekend of fun stations and activities.

Join us for a “Mission Possible” Spy Theme weekend. If you live by the Scout Law/Oath, then any challenge is “Possible!”

Highlights:

  • Laser course/maze
  • Cracking Codes
  • Marksmanship
  • Bungee Run Challenge — an inflatable for teens
  • Solving a mystery
  • Patrol Competition
  • Ultimate Frisbee Game
  • District Cooking Contest
  • Campfire and Awards Ceremony
  • AND MORE!

The camp will open at 5 pm on Friday. Troops can camp 2 nights, 1 night, or just come for the day.

Camping will take place at both upper and lower Hoyt.  We will do our best to accommodate campsite requests on a first registration paid basis. Please consider camping upper Hoyt.

Campsites are assigned Jamboree style and are keyed on the map in the Leaders Guide. Leaders Guide coming soon. We do not assign campsites by traditional Hoyt campsite names.  Campsite requests can be made through the online registration link. Use the key on the map when requesting a campsite.

Arrow of Light Webelos: The Fall Camporee is being held in conjunction with the Cub Scout Field Day.  AOL Webelos can arrive by 8:30 AM in time for the 9 AM opening ceremony and hosted by a Troop, can fully participate in the Camporee program. Hosting arrangements are made through the Pack and the Troop, and not by district.

  • ALERT: Webelos must register through the Pack NOT the troop.
  • If AOL Webelos is not able to find a hosting Troop, please let us know at info@powahay.com and we’ll do our best to find a troop.

Senior Patrol Leaders will form the Greenbar for the weekend coordinating their Troop participation and planning the program. We welcome more than one youth representative from each troop to our planning Greenbar.

  • SPL/Scoutmaster Zoom Planning Meeting — Sunday, October 2, at 4 PM. Zoom Link to be emailed as we get closer to the date.
