Boy Scouts of America – Pathway to Adventure

Date: Oct 12, 2019 at 8:00am to 5:00pm
The Boy Scouts are hosting their council-wide Camporee which will include boy and girl Cub Scouts (Kindergarten – Fifth-grade), young men and women Scout BSA participants (6th Grade – High School Seniors), Venturers, Sea Scouts, and Explorer participants. With an overall expected attendance of 3,000-5,000 Scouts, the Camporee will feature both traditional Scouting programs and more unique experiences. APO Volunteers will be assisting throughout the day with running various program stations and interacting directly with the participants. Some programs include: Rock Climbing; Rocket Launches; Archery & Fishing; Boating; STEAM activities including Soldering, Robots, Astronomy; Vendor Displays; Relay Race; Inflatables; Field Games; Scout Skills and Advancement Opportunities. There are three different shifts available for APO members to volunteer: (1) 8-5, (2) 8-1, or (3) 12-5. Bus transportation will be provided from UIC’s Student Center East (750 S. Halsted St.) or volunteers are able to drive to the event. Buses will leave UIC at 7:00 and 11:00 AM to take volunteers to the event and will return after their shift has concluded. Any APO member who volunteers for the 8-5 shift will be provided lunch. If you would like to attend both shifts, please sign up for both shifts. The first shift is 8am-1pm, the second is 12pm-5pm. Location TBA.
