After tremendous successes in both 2004 and 2007, the New Jersey State Police and the Boy Scouts of America will host the 2011 New Jersey State Police Camporee on May 20-22 at the New Jersey State Police Academy in Sea Girt.
Registration is open now (see details below). All Boy Scout Troops, Venturing Crews and Explorer Posts in New Jersey are invited to attend, but registration is strictly limited to 10,000 participants.
Scouts will interact with Troopers, SWAT Teams, helicopter exhibitions, live fire range demonstrations, the high-tech crime lab and more while camping with their units in a tent city.

No refunds will be offered and every participant MUST be registered before the event in order to attend the camporee.

The National Executive Board recently approved a resolution to change the eligibility requirements for Venturing to ensure consistency among Venturing, high-adventure bases, and other core programs.
The current age and grade eligibility requirement for participation in the Venturing program is 14 years of age and completion of the eighth grade.
Effective May 1, 2010, the minimum age requirement will be changed to 14 years of age, or 13 years of age and completion of the eighth grade. The maximum age for participation remains under 21 years of age.
In support of this change, a list of frequently asked questions is posted at www.scouting.org/venturing.
