Highland Games Competition

Dear Scouts and Scouters,

The Toqua District Activities and Civic Service Committee invite all Boy Scouts and Scouters to take
part in the 2008 Spring Camporee at the East Tennessee Nursery on the Hiawassee River near
Delano, TN.

This Highland Games Camporee will consist of multiple Celtic sport competitions that originated
centuries ago in the Scottish Highlands. You will compete in fun and challenging Celtic tests of
strength, endurance and skill. These events are fun, challenging events for Scouts of all ages to
participate. Scouts and Scouters are encouraged to wear Scottish kilts for the weekend. The events will
encompass Scout Spirit, leadership, and attributes of the Scout Law. Information on each event is
included in the pages that follow. Units will compete as Patrols.

The Tower Award will be awarded on Sunday morning to the overall winner of the competition along
with the Spirit Award. First, second, and third place ribbons will be given out for each event. Patrol
flags should be carried and displayed during the Camporee.

The cost of the Camporee is 10.00 per participant. This will cover the cost of the Camporee, a patch,
camping and site usage fees, program supplies, and recognitions. Preregistration is required and a
form is included in this package.

The Camporee is limited to Boy Scouts only.

The Saturday night campfire will feature a call out ceremony for the Order of the Arrow. Don’t forget to
bring blankets to sit on and flashlights. Parents and siblings are invited to attend the campfire.

The Scout Oath and Law will guide all activities, events and individual behavior.

We look forward to a great weekend of camping.
