[Camporee] RE: Schabarum Park

[Bennett Pauline]

The other group is approx 250 Scouts and are associated with Valle Del
Sol. I do not have a POC.
Schabarum has truly screwed us -- they wouldn't take our reservation
because we were "too big", they gave
It to a smaller group and then they said if we paid more (approx $300
more) we could share (not our first choice).

They seemed open to letting us have the same place we had last year and
moving the other group down to the overflow (we were the larger group,
we were the repeat group, we were the ones that got screwed == we get
first choice).

I don't believe we could legitimately move the date and I wouldn't
recommend advertising our location troubles outside the Committee.

They are currently checking with the other group to see if they are
willing to move to the 1st week of May and how they want to combine the
space with us.

Jim --

	Rescheduling an event such as a district camporee is not a
simple affair because so many people and units are involved and many
have made schedule commitments in their programs counting on the
projected district calendar as being correct.  May significantly effect
attendance.

	It is a problem.  I look forward to the responses of the other
committee members, especially the district connected ones, such as Wes,
Frankie and Rod.

	You are right that this needs to be acted on immediately and
arrangements finalized.

	(How large is the other scout group?  What is the arrangement --
are we considered "overflow" and will suffer from a poor location -- on
the side that steep hill?  Lots of questions whose answers could shade a
decision that may even necessitate looking at other options than
Schabarum.)

I would like to get some input before the next camporee meeting.
Schabarum park has agreed to host our camporee again this year. However,
on the weekend we would like to hold the camporee, another scout group
has reserved it. We can still share the park though. We can also get
Schabarum park on the weekend of May 5-7 and have it to ourselves. My
question is, do we want to share the park and hold our camporee on the
weekend of April 28-30, or do we postpone a week, and have the park to
ourselves?
