Several Mathews Scouts recently had the opportunity to attend the West Point Scoutmaster's Council 2022 Camporee, the largest non-BSA camporee in the nation. Having not had the event in two years, this year brought 3,500 Scouts from about 185 troops from around the country.

Our Mathews Scouts had a great experience backpacking their supplies and tents into the Lake Frederick training grounds, and the West Point Cadets put on 15 different event stations for the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and Venture Crews in attendance. Highlights included 5 paratroopers from the West Point Black Knights parachuting down above the group, and a great bonfire and outdoor DJ dance party!
