BELGRADE – More than 100 Scouts and leaders from Somerset, Kennebec and Lincoln counties descended on Camp Bomazeen for the annual Fall Camp-O-Ree the weekend of Oct. 14-16, where the theme was “Anything Goes with a Touch of Halloween.”
Each troop camped out and also ran one of the stations, which ranged from traditional Scouting activities such as orienteering, pioneering, primitive fire building and shooting sports to more spooky-themed events such as Witches Brew Stew Competition, creepy obstacle course, and best Halloween costumes. Scouts also went trick or treating from station to station collecting candy as they went.
“Our little spook-o-ree drew in a whole bunch of Scouts who got to go from station to station performing their Scout skills for points,” said Chris Bernier, of Winslow, who ran the event. He thanked all the volunteers, leaders and Scouts who took part.
Prizes were handed out at Sunday morning’s closing ceremony, and included a new camp stove, a 12-inch Dutch oven, a tripod cooking grill, a water bladder, a fire grill, a portable sink and a plastic bucket as the blanket prizes. The prizes were chosen by the winners, based on ranking.
Winners were:
Overall Points: 1. Troop 401, Sidney; 2. Troop 485, Skowhegan 3. Troop 213, Damariscotta.
Troop Gateway competition: 1. Troop 433, Winslow ; 2. Troop 485, Skowhegan 3. Troop 401, Sidney
Witches Brew Stew competition winner was Troop 485, Skowhegan.
