Victoria Day Weekend Camp - for 2011 - May 20 - 23, 2011

Mt. Nemo Scout Camp

Victoria Day Camporee began in 1955 and is a competition camp designed for Scouts and Venturers. With a trophy awarded to the best all round troop and company. Each and every year has provided exciting programs for everyone including the leaders.  Whether it is raining or sunshine, hailing or snow this camp is one that everyone enjoys.

The "Who Done It" crime that took place May 21st to 24th 2010 has been solved.

The murders have been solved, the suspects taken away in handcuffs, the ransom money has been paid; another Victoria Day Camp has come and gone. Did we have fun? Soaked and covered in mud on Saturday, hot and sweaty on Sunday. From the smiles on all the youth’s faces we believe that Victoria Day was another success.

 In order to put together a camp like this many people behind the scenes need to be thanked. From the Scout section the event team of Brent Wilson, Nathan Ausher and Pat Hall, a team of three but the enthusiasm of an army, provided the youth with events to keep them busy from Friday night until Monday when the murderer was revealed. The kitchen staff of Joan and Colin Barty and Paul Anderson, thanks for the food to keep the staff energized. Thank you to Mark Sferrazza, VICDAY would never be the same without the “Markman Radio Show” to get us up and going in the mornings. Our lunch wide meal was a great success thanks to Rob Pissey and his team. Keep watching the Hamilton Wentworth page for pictures of camp which could not have been possible without thanking our handy photographer Paul Goodman. To all the additional staff who came out to help, in each of their own little ways, thank you for pitching in wherever assistance was needed.

 Congratulations to the 74th Hamilton Mystery Machine patrol who took first place overall, second place to the 63rd Hamilton Mortiart’s and third place to the 13th Hamilton Falcons.

To all the scouts and leaders who attended this year, thank you for helping create memories of Victoria Day 2010. Nobody can do everything, but everyone can do something, thank you to everyone who did something.
