US Merchant Marine Academy Camporee

Kings Point Eagle Scout Association

22nd Annual Camporee

US Merchant Marine Academy, Kings Point New York

Scoutmaster in Charge: Mr. Peter Mazzilli, USMMA Graduate

Come join us for a Camporee at the United States Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, NY.  Kings Point is one of the five federal service academies that train and educate officers for all branches of the military.  This unique institution must also prepare maritime officers who carry out the sealift operations that enable our armed forces to be effective around the world.  The campus is situated on the north shore of Long Island and we will be camping on the waterfront April 29-May 1.  More details to follow.

We don’t have a description of the activities for the Camporee yet.  It will be small – less than 350 people, and there is a lot to see there. Invest the time; we’re sure it will be worthwhile.

Each participant in the Camporee will receive a patch commemorating the recently lost merchant vessel, the El Faro.  The Eagle Scout Association encourages scouts to bring small bills as they will be selling off merchandise from previous camporees at blow-out prices!  A great way to add to your scouting patch collection.

Registration for this trip closes April 22.  We have to mail the roster in advance of our visit, so this will be a hard cut-off.

We will depart early Saturday morning, likely 7:00 AM for an 8:30 AM arrival.  We will spend Saturday at the Merchant Marine Academy.  The precise plan will be supplied by the Midshipman.  We will depart for home Sunday after breakfast.  The fee for the campout is $25.00.
