What is a Camporall? A Camporall is for ALL Scouts—Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Venture & Explorer Scouts, and Girl Scouts! Camp for the weekend or come out for the day on Saturday and join hundreds of Scouts and leaders from throughout Western New York and beyond. Our theme is STEM—Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math—and how it influences our world. We are partnering with the State University of New York at Buffalo to offer a unique opportunity for Scouts to experience fun, handson STEM activities that take full advantage of University facilities, resources, and staff. Camporalls are held every few years and this is the first one hosted by the Greater Niagara Frontier Council, BSA since 2010. The committee has been planning the event for over two years and we can’t wait to see you there! Program Guide v6 06.03.17

Active Shooter—In the unlikely event that an active shooter situation arises, it is important for everyone to take appropriate action (Run/Hide/Fight). UB Campus Police should immediately be notified at (716) 645-2222. A good article, provided by the “Interagency Security Committee” can be found at the following https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/ files/publications/isc-planning-response-activeshooter-guide-non-fouo-nov-2015-508.pdf. When reviewing the above-mentioned article, please pay particular attention to Chapter 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3. Please discuss these topics with your unit members before the event.

unit personnel is the unit leader. Once a missing person is determined, UB Campus Police should immediately be notified at (716) 645-2222. The Campus Police Department dispatcher will notify the Camporall leadership. The UB Campus Police, all Health & Safety personnel, and available unit/district staff will meet at the Camporall Headquarters to discuss plans for accommodating a search. Once the individual is located, a call must be made to the UB Campus Police dispatcher advising them that the emergency is over.

SECURITY



Dig Safely—Underground utilities are a major concern on campus. We will notify “Dig Safely” prior to our camping weekend and all underground utilities will be appropriately identified/flagged, before any campsite is setup or inhabited. Please abide by/ respect any markings placed in your areas.

There will be groups of two security personnel surveying the camping areas around the clock throughout the weekend. These personnel will be on the lookout for individuals that do not belong in the campsites. These security personnel will contact UB Campus police in the case of any suspicious activity and/or emergencies.



Fires—No fires are allowed in campsites, including above-ground fires. All units should plan to cook meals with propane or white gas stoves. Liquid fuels should be stored appropriately. For more information please refer to http://www.scouting.org/ filestore/pdf/680-013WB.pdf. It is also recommended that all units provide fire extinguishers, appropriate for the fuel being used in case of cooking area fires. No flames are allowed in tents. In no case, should youth or adults try to fight fires that are out of control. Fire emergencies should be reported to UB Campus Police at (716) 645-2222.

There will also be a group of Health & Safety personnel, who we are identifying as “Safety Resource Officers”, (SRO). They will also be patrolling the campsites, looking for safety violations, or unsafe conditions. It is not the intent of these volunteers to point out trivial problems, but rather to work with you, the unit leaders, to achieve a safe and enjoyable environment for our scouts. If you have any issues, relating to Health & Safety, please be sure to stop these individuals and let them know of your concerns!



Weather Emergencies—In the event of severe weather, (thunderstorms/high winds/flooding), a general siren/signal will be sounded. When this signal is heard, all leaders should congregate with their units, ensure that all members are present (take a head count), and proceed to a designated hard-cover evacuation location. Once at the locations defined below, another head count should be taken to ensure all unit members safely made it to the safe structure. Those campers on the north side of the Lake LaSalle campsite will proceed north, across the

NOTE: New York state law prohibits all participants from possessing any type of firearm on campus grounds, including those who posses valid pistol permits. Violators are subject to arrest.

PROGRAM INFORMATION Saturday at the Camporall will be split between STEM experiments in and around the University labs and classrooms and at the outdoor Midway area. Younger Scouts will explore the Midway activities in the morning and the Lab Activities in the afternoon. Older Scouts will participate in the Lab Activities in the morning and the Midway in the afternoon. See the schedule at the end of this section for details.

UB LAB ACTIVITIES Scouts will participate in three 50minute sessions exploring STEM subjects with trained UB instructors. Individual schedules will be provided at the Friday leaders meeting and at check-in on Saturday. Lab session experiments will explore the 9 STEM themes below. A complete list of Lab Activities can be found on page 11.



Building Blocks: Scouts will learn about materials, old and new, that offer very special properties and behaviors and can be used to solve pressing problems.



Talk to Me: Scouts will experience the world of modern communications technologies, and glimpse what the future holds for us all in this important technology field

MIDWAY PROGRAMS & ACTIVITIES The Camporall Midway features a wide variety of activities, games, displays, and special programs. See the headings below for a list of what is planned!

OUTDOOR ETHICS ACTIVITIES Visit the Outdoor Ethics area at the Camporall and tour “Camp Oh-No!” Scouts will be challenged to use Leave No Trace principles to observe and point out features of a high impact/ poorly created campsite.



Keep It Clean: Scouts will develop an appreciation of the water cycle and the understand the challenges of delivering clean water to everyone in inexpensive and sustainable ways.

There will also be a one-hour BSA Outdoor Ethics Orientation course offered for Scouts and leaders. http://www.scouting.org/scoutsource/ OutdoorProgram/OutdoorEthics.aspx



To the Sky and Beyond: Scouts will engage with space exploration and space science, including satellite technology, planetary explorers, and the search for life on other planets.

Leave No Trace games, offered every 15 minutes:



Going Places: Scouts will experience robotics for manufacturing, for healthcare and for the home, as well as learn about autonomous vehicles and how they will change our lives



Sustainable Human: Scouts will step up their understanding of cutting edge research in medicine and healthcare, and open their eyes to the future that awaits.



Make It Green: Scouts will engage in sustainable design and engineering, developing an understanding of what great design requires of us.



Light Up the World: Scouts will deepen their knowledge of power and energy, from fantastic new generation methods to the mysteries of distribution at all scales.



The Internet of Things: Scouts will explore the internet of things and uncover the fascinating future that a sensored, connected world offers us.



Trash Time Line – Items such as an orange peel, a glass bottle, aluminum can, etc will be on display. Cubs will be asked to place them in order of how long each item will take to decompose in the wild.



Steal the WOW – Scouts (role playing as archeologists) assemble a jigsaw puzzle (20-50 pieces) that may have all of the pieces; may be missing some pieces or may have extra pieces. The puzzle pieces represent the bones of a dinosaur and this activity emphasizes “Leave what you find” as a discussion ensues addressing taking (or leaving extra) objects found in the wild.



Go Neutral – This activity has Scouts walking a 50 foot trail and observing items; some of which are bright colored, while others are “earthy” colors. After identifying which colors “stand out”, a discussion of how this pertains to color as an impact occurs.



Measurement challenge - Scouts will pace off 200 feet which is the minimum distance from water

June 9-11, 2017

that a latrine (to dispose of human waste) should be from a water source. Scouts will then choose, from a chart, the proper depth of a “cathole” (individual latrine). Feedback will be given as to how accurate they are. An explanation of these measurements in relation to outdoor ethics will be provided. 

Outdoor Ethics game – 2 or 3 brief scenarios will be read to scouts and based on their own personal ethical beliefs, a scout will stand in a designated spot to indicate which one of the scenarios he identifies as the worst (most harmful). Scouts will be asked to defend their position attempting to convince others as to which scenario is worst.



Outdoor Ethics Jeopardy – Scouts will work as teams to provide questions to outdoor ethics answers from various categories.



Outdoor Ethics Tic Tac Toe. - Scouts are divided into two teams (X's and O's) with one scout at time answering an Outdoor Ethics question. If answered correctly, the team chooses where the scout who answered correctly should stand on a life size tic tac toe board. If an incorrect answer is given, the other team gets their turn. The first team to get three in a row wins.



Surface Hopscotch – Twenty five (or more) cards are set out on the ground in a grid of 5 by 5 (or 6 by 6, etc). Scouts work as a group with one scout at a time turning over one card at a time with a type of surface (i.e. stone, grass, snow, sand, etc.) written on the card. Whenever a card turned over is a durable surface, the scout can stand on that card and continue turning over cards in subsequent rows. When a non-durable surface card is turned over, the scout returns to the group (placing all cards face down) and the next scout takes a turn. The object is to get all scouts across in as few attempts as possible.

STEM GAMES The Midway will feature a variety of fun STEM games for Scouts to complete, including:  Bottle Rockets, kite making, and paper airplanes, and Rain Gutter Regatta activities for younger Scouts.  STEM Bingo – Try your luck with a bingo board consisting of scientists & engineers rather than plain boring numbers! Who do you recognize? Can you spot the couple of ringers (fictional characters) among the real people?  Chemical Yahtzee – Rack up points by scoring the

Page 7









highest combo of atomic numbers as you roll the dice, hoping for plutonium rather than lowly zinc. Mini Catapult Construction – Build your own catapult and help answer vital questions like “What shoots further – a cocoa puff or a smartie?” Hone your artillery skills as you evaluate the best characteristics of various types of edible ammo. Aluminum Can Races – Trounce your friends at the races, powering empty Al cans with static electricity. It’s techno-magic, making the cans roll without touching them! Coke-Mentos Fizz Off – Help find out how many mentos gives the tallest plume of soda pop. Which types of pop have the most fizz? Is sugar helpful or should you really stick to “diet” versions? (note: participants may find a poncho handy) Trebuchet Target – Put those old mini beanie babies to good use: shoot them at targets & see who’s got the best aim, best distance, best accuracy.

BOATING

Grab a buddy and enjoy boating on Lake LaSalle. Canoes and kayaks will be available for use. BSA Safety Afloat standards apply. All craft operators need to have passed the BSA "Blue" swimmer test. “Red” swimmer may be present in a canoe with an adult Blue swimmer. Trained waterfront staff will provide supervision. Unit leaders can administer the BSA Swimmer test using this form: http://www.scouting.org/filestore/outdoor% 20program/aquatics/pdf/430-122.pdf (Not valid for summer camp in New York State.) Tom Sawyer Raft Competition A Patrol/Crew/Troop competition, the Raft Regatta will take place in the afternoon on Lake LaSalle. Groups will be given 30 minutes to use STEM principles to construct a floatable raft out of materials that are found around UB or with materials brought from home. The raft cannot be built before arrival at the Camporall and must be built within the allowed time. Once the 30 minutes are up, the team must transport one person along the course in a timed manner to collect the treasure.
