ANNOUNCED via the CDCatholicScouting GoogleGroup on March 12, 2020 ...
Greetings all Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA ,Venture Crews, & AHG & Girl Scouts and Catholic scouters,
We regret to announce that CDCCOS leadership has decided to postpone the 2020 Catholic Camporee that was scheduled for next weekend, March 20-22.
Parents and unit leaders have expressed concerns about proceeding with the Camporee given that public health officials are now discouraging large public events due to the spread of COVID-19, which has now been classified as a pandemic by the World Health Organization.
As of now we are considering alternate dates in the fall to reschedule the Camporee and we will keep this audience informed as those plans evolve.
We apologize for this last-minute change and for any disruptions it may cause for scouts, packs, troops and parents.
Mike Nielsen, Chair, CDCCOS
Deacon Martin Ricart, Chaplain, CDCCOS
