This weekend (April 26-28) marks the 51st edition of the West Point Scoutmaster's Council Camporee. Invited Boy, Girl, and Venture Troops are set to arrive from as far away as Michigan, Maine, and Florida to make up the 5,000+ scouts that will descend on Lake Frederick.
Additionally, the camporee is honoring 2LT David E. Rylander, a graduate of the Class of 2011 and a prominent member of the Scoutmaster's Council during his time as a cadet. Rylander was killed in action on May 2, 2012, by injuries sustained due to an improvised explosive device in Logar Province, Afghanistan, while leading as an engineer officer.
Grads with smartphones and iPads can keep up with the Camporee's activities throughout the weekend, real time, by tracking the agenda, Twitter, and pictures on the unofficial camporee app. Just enter meeting code SWC976 into the free Zwoor app on your smartphone or iPad.
