May 16-17-18, 2008. “As you all know, life is not fun if all you do is go to work or to school. People need a break from the everyday schedule. We all need something to occupy the mind and to keep physically fit. Keeping a sound mind and being physically fit are a large part of the Scout Promise and the Scout Law. Hobbies can provide both at once. This is where the theme “Hobbies for Fitness, Hobbies for Life” fits into scouting. The scouts of Troop 202 are planning informative and hands on sessions for the following hobbies: Karate Astronomy Sailing Hiking Golf Model Aviation Fishing … and of course the Camporee is a showcase for one of the most important “hobbies” in the state for adults: Scouting! Groups and clubs from Maine will be bringing gear, knowledge, and people who are active in these hobbies to the Camporee. The sessions are for both scouts and leaders too. |
