Why? Why I am doing this: Council camporees are a lot of fun. This camporee won't be any different. Since I am not affiliated with a troop or a pack, this is one of the ways I can see the value of Scouting in action. My background is in accounting so this is good application of my skills. Finally, as Finance Chair, there is no heavy lifting.
