                   The 2011 Spring Camporee will be themed around severe weather emergency preparedness.  Locally, we           

get severe weather throughout the year, and as seen in Iowa, severe weather can strike at anytime, anywhere, even a scout camp.  The goal of this Camporee is to prepare our Scouts and Scouters for emergencies regarding severe weather.  Various local agencies will be involved to provide a hands-on learning experience, while also meeting requirements for the Weather Merit Badge.*
