Camp-O-Ree "Road to 250" Staff Training

ONLY ONE LEADER from each Troop needs to register.

Dear Bay Area Council Troops and Leaders,

We want to let you know that the 2026 Bay Area Council Camp-O-Ree has been moved to the first weekend in May 2026.

This change is intended to help those troops that were facing a choice between attending OA Conclave and participating in Camp-O-Ree. By moving Camp-O-Ree to the first weekend in May, units will now have the opportunity to support both events.

The weekend originally scheduled for Camp-O-Ree will now be used as a special Camp-O-Ree dry-run weekend called Road to 250.

This weekend, March 27-29th, is intended to give units an opportunity to prepare and sharpen their skills ahead of the main event.

Troops may use the time to:

• Run their patrols through team-building exercises

• Set up and test their Camp-O-Ree station

• Practice event logistics and campsite setup

• Hold a Camp-O-Ree cooking competition to see if they have the right recipe ready for the event

The theme for this year’s Camp-O-Ree is America 250, celebrating the founding of our nation. We encourage units to design their event stations around this theme and use the Road to 250 weekend as a chance to develop ideas, refine presentations, and prepare for a great council-wide event.

Thank you for your flexibility, preparation, and support as we work together to make this year’s Camp-O-Ree a strong and memorable event.

Yours in Scouting,

Steven Bradford
Camp Director
