camporee
Regional troop weekend
A camporee is a local or regional gathering of Scout troops, typically lasting a weekend and involving camping, competitions, and skill demonstrations.
Unlike a jamboree, which draws participants nationally or internationally, a camporee usually brings together troops from a single district or council: Our troop won the fire-building contest at the spring camporee.
