MICHIGAN 2004

International Camporee

 

INTRODUCTION

Between the 23rd of July and the 11th of August a contingent of eight Scouts aged 13-17 joined three leaders on a trip to Michigan USA for the 2004 Michigan International Camporee.   The contingent travelled to America with scouts from Dublin and spent a whole week in the care of American families. In that week we managed to absorb much of the American lifestyle. We went Go-Carting, Ice Skating, and Swimming. We also visited the Wright Patterson Air Base, and Cedar Point Amusement Park.   Some of the Explorers also took the opportunity to participate in the Heritage Trail. A Walk involving 21 Miles over Tracks and Roads. The second week was spent under canvas at Northwood's Scout Reservation near West Branch where the Explorers participated in a variety of camp organised activities.   It is definitely worth checking out the Camporee Log to see what has been posted.
