Here is the update from our Site Visit Read the Notes below :
Mary went to Sycamore on Saturday, but there was a big Daisy/Brownie Journey day going on where all of the cabins were being used. So, I would like to think that those troops raised any issues!
I did note, that there wasn't firewood around camp, so Keri will be requested that they distribute some. Worst case, we just have to all pick up our own from the work shed.
I would suggest that you look at videos and notes from last year's Camporee page on specific cabins. Also BRING EVERYTHING YOU NEED. Most cabins last year did not have any cooking equipment, only a few did.
