Flags & Parades
Daily On-site Parade
You feel so proud to be marching with your club. Up ahead you hear drum corps groups beating out the marching time. Hundreds of people are cheering for you on either side of the street.

You will remember this for the rest of your life.

Vintage Car Show

Join the Adventist Rodders Club (ARC) and other car enthusiasts for a special Vintage Car Show. See cars from many years ago! These cars are polished and chromed and way nicer than they were as original. See them in the parade each day and on display in one of the hangars.
We have Pastor Ron’s ’57 Chevy Bel Air, Lloyd Clapp’s ’32 Model A Street Rod, and several others. Come in, take pictures! This activity is for the entire club no matter what their age, including those staff who might even remember when these cars were new! You might even see some very modern Hot Rods!
Joining the Vintage Cars will be the Sabbath Keepers Motorcycle Club who will be showing their motorcycles and telling about their outreach for the Lord.

World Records and Competitions
World Record Attempts
There will be many opportunities to set World Records at the 2024 Camporee. Stay tuned and check back often for a complete approved list.

Top Club Chef Competition
Come and participate in this exciting special event at the International Pathfinder Camporee. It’s a fun-filled activity specifically targeting that important, yet often forgotten, member of the team, the club chef. We want to have our chefs showcase their talents and be appreciated for all the tasty, healthy food they provide for their clubs. The best part is everyone can be a winner, since this is a non-elimination competition.
Here’s More Information:
- Contact your local NAD Conference or non-NAD Division Youth Director to see if s/he will appoint you to represent all of the club chefs in your NAD Conference or GC Division
- Top Club Chefs will be determined each day (Wednesday, Thursday, Friday), and will be awarded a “Top Club Chef” lapel pin each day.
- On Friday, the club chef(s) with the most total points will be awarded a special “Top Club Chef” Medallion.
Schedule: Wednesday-Friday 9:30am-11:00am
Location: West of Hangar D by Food Court – See on the Camporee map
Ultimate S'more
Ultimate S’more
Every year at Pathfinder camporees all over the world, one thought dominates Saturday night – “Is my s’more the best ever?” In 2024, at the Believe the Promise International Camporee, that question will be answered, once and for all!
The Objective: Simply put, make the best tasting s’more at the International Camporee.
The Rule: All s’mores must include graham cracker, marshmallow and chocolate.
The Process: At your conference camporee, one winner will be selected to represent your conference at the BTPIC in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. On Wednesday evening, each Union will select one conference winner to be its representative at the final cookout on Thursday. In addition, the International Village will have a club in the final cookout.
Each winning club will need to bring their own s’more supplies to the final cookout. A panel of select judges (some famous, some just really good at eating s’mores) will determine a winner. That club will receive the famous “Trophy of Yum”, a bag of marshmallows and a bottle of Pepto Bismol during the evening program.
