“A Camporee Program Operating Under the Darkness of Night”
Calling all secret agents! Meet at camp Indian Trails on April 23-25,
2021 for a series of challenging Day and Night Ops Missions.
Your Night OPS mission, should you choose to accept it, begins at
19:00 hours (7:00 pm). Night OPS Missions include Laser Gauntlet,
Enemy Encampment, Espionage Adventure, Secret Agent, Jaws of
Death, Blind Escape, Stealth Hike, Agent Rescue, and Fish in a
Barrel.
Day Missions will Include Merit Badges, Open Programming Time for
Troops, and Field Games.
As always, should you or any of your force (patrol) be captured, the
secretary (scoutmaster) will disavow any knowledge of your actions.
There are events planned all weekend and a Saturday evening cracker
barrel (jaws of death) you will not want to miss. Bring your Scouts
and join us for a fun filled weekend.
I hope to see all there.

“A Camporee Program Operating Under the Darkness of Night”
SUMMARY OF THE PROGRAM
The “Mission IMPossible” Camporee program is different than anything we
have done before.
The main programming begins Saturday Evening at 6:45 pm at the campfire
ring. During the camporee, CIT will be swarming with “secret agents” doing
their best to accomplish several fun but challenging “Night OPS Missions.”
Scout Patrols will be given secret orders that will direct them to their
first night mission. Additional clues will be provided following each event.
Patrols will be scored on proper rotation between the events.
All Agents will report to Headquarters for the Jaws of Death
Cracker Barrell by 11:30pm.
A total of 6 missions will be completed under the cover of darkness.
The missions will conclude at 11:15pm and all Agents should be in
their campsites and quiet by 12:30 am - SPL’s must report back to the
camp staff once their full headcount is complete
WHY A NIGHT CAMPOREE?
There are several awesome reasons to have a nighttime camporee!
1) It's a fun and exciting departure from the “standard” camporee and
campout format. This is especially important to our “veteran” Scouts
that have participated in other Camporees and would enjoy something
new and different.
2) To Scouts who have busy weekend schedules of sports or other
activities, it gives them the luxury of participating in those events and
still complete a full experience at the Camporee. They do not have to
choose between Scouting and other pursuits.
3) It avoids the rush of Friday night. Units can arrive either Friday night
or Saturday morning.
a. Units arriving on Friday night understand that the majority of
the program will be offered Saturday afternoon. Units can
provide their own program or participate in planned events
before the start of the Camporee.
b. Please be respectful of the IOLS/BALOO training being
conducted Saturday during the day.
4) Under the cover of darkness, the environment takes on a mystery,
which creates a more exciting mood. Even Scouts that are very familiar
with CIT will find the camp different at night.

MEALS
All Troop are responsible for bringing their meals. There are NO district-provided meals. A Cracker
Barrell event is being planned for Saturday night however may need to be modified to comply with
COVID requirements.
ADDITIONAL COVID-19 PRECAUTIONS
All attendees will be required to complete a pre-event screening checklist, and units will be expected to
complete daily wellness checks of all members at their campsite. Units should have a plan in place to
increase and enhance the cleaning and sanitation of common touch areas at their campsite.
Troops and will be assigned to a circle. This group of Scouts/Adults will participate in all programs
without commingling with other circles.
Remember that face coverings are one of the CDC recommended ways to protect yourself and flatten the
curve; we know that face coverings can be uncomfortable at times, but your safety and the safety of all
our Scouts is essential!
Face coverings will be worn at all times indoors unless in the dining hall while eating
Face coverings will be worn at all times in open-air outdoor circumstances when social distancing
cannot be accomplished
All program areas will be sanitized after every group rotation.
Scouts will not share tents. Families may tent together.
LEADERSHIP
Two-deep leadership per BSA policy is required for any Scouting activity. The Buddy System is also
strongly enforced at camp. SPL’s and Patrol Leaders should designate “buddy teams” at camp. Scout
leaders should make sure their Scouts are drinking enough water to stay hydrated and should plan on
sending adult buddy pairs with each Patrol, not as participants but as a safety check as these events are in
the dark.

NIGHT OPS MISSIONS (SATURDAY)
1. MYSTERY SCOUTMASTER MISSION – Sorry, this is a complete mystery. No one knows what
the mission is, not even the president! It will remain a mystery until moments before you begin,
matters of National security you know. It is big! It is vitally important! Be prepared for
anything!
2. LASER GAUNTLET: (COVID Modified) Patrols must advance upon the enemy sentry and
neutralize him. The enemy Sentry (staff member) is blindfolded and stands ready with a flashlight
(laser) ready for action. The Patrol must approach the sentry quietly, no running allowed. If the
patrol members make a noise or are spotlighted by the “laser”, the Scout is “dead” and must sit
down. If one of the Scouts can tag the Sentry, then the Patrol wins. If the Sentry spotlights all of
the Patrol members, then the Patrol is out. This is a timed event.
3. ENEMY ENCAMPMENT: You must evaluate the strength of the enemy encampment and make a
map of the location. You must not be seen or heard in your attempt. The more accurate
information that you list, the higher score you can obtain. How many enemy soldiers are there?
How many tents? Are there any vehicles? What is the license plate numbers of the vehicles? Do
you split your Patrol into smaller teams to gather more information? If any member of your Patrol
is spotted by an enemy guard, your entire Patrol loses. If your Patrol can capture an enemy guard
(by silently approaching and tapping him/her on the shoulder) for interrogation, bonus points will
be awarded.
4. STEALTH HIKE: The Patrol must traverse a route from Point X-Ray to Point Zebra without
being seen or heard. Enemy agents are patrolling the pathway. You must use a compass and
orienteering skills to complete the course. The Patrol must be very quiet and use no flashlights.
You must be stealthy or else. This is a timed event.
5. FRIEND OR FOE? There is an enemy agent known as “The Jackal” and a friendly agent known
as “The Condor”. The Patrol will meet both agents over the course of the event. You must decide
which agent is “The Condor” and present their computer disk to him/her. You have no
information about the appearance of “The Jackal” or “The Condor”. It is known that “The Jackal”
is operating in the area and may try to impersonate “The Condor”. The Patrol must determine
who is who by asking the agents questions and judging their character by the responses. You
must get computer disk to “The Condor”. The only clue we can give you is that “The Condor”
was a member of the Boy Scouts of America. He/She will know about proper BSA skills,
“A Camporee Program Operating Under the Darkness of Night”knowledge, and trivia. “The Jackal” was not a Scout so his/her answers may not be proper. If
“The Jackal” fools you and receives the disk, your Patrol's mission is lost.
6. BLIND ESCAPE: An explosive device has temporarily blinded all the patrol members but the
Patrol Leader. The Patrol Leader can see but is paralyzed and cannot move. The Patrol Leader
must guide fellow Patrol members by voice through a dangerous series of obstacles to rescue
them and escape to safety. Teamwork and cooperation are your only hope for survival. The Patrol
Leader will be tested on how clearly, they can give instructions and how well they can coach the
Patrol through the situation. The Patrol will be tested on how well they follow instructions. This
is a timed event.
7. RESCUE THE PILOT: Patrol members must rescue a reconnaissance pilot who has been shot
down behind enemy lines. The pilot must be safely brought to home base. The pilot is hiding but
does have a radio that you can use to communicate with them. Your Patrol must rescue the pilot.
The pilot will guide you to their location via the radio but you must stay as quiet as possible.
Enemy forces have radio interception devices and are homing in on the pilots location. The pilot
was been injured while ejecting from the plane. You must determine the extent of the injuries,
administer the proper first aid techniques, build a stretcher with materials found near-by, and
evacuate the pilot to safety. Be warned! Enemy soldiers are searching as well, do not get caught
or you lose! This is a timed event
8. JAWS OF DEATH – You will exercise your jaws on a buffet of cheese, crackers, cookies,
veggies, cold cut sandwiches, soup, lemonade, and hot beverages. This is a light snack served
COVID style scheduled at the end of the night for everyone to enjoy. It serves a few purposes.
First it refuels young bodies. It serves as a check point for the staff. Is everyone accounted for?
Are there any injuries?
.
EVENT SCORING
Each Patrol will be timed or scored for each activity participated in. Based on the individual event's
scoring rules:
10 POINTS: Top scoring Patrol 6 POINTS: Third scoring Patrol
8 POINTS: Second scoring Patrol 4 POINTS: all other Patrols
In case of a tie for First, Second, or Third places; the recorded times will be the tie-breaker.
The top three scoring Patrols will receive a trophy. Bonus point opportunities will be available throughout
the event. You'll learn more at the Camporee!
