Subject: Camporee Presentations

Dear Corb,

Per our conversation and in keeping up with information to the committee, here is the information on what our Troop has arranged for the Camporee.

1. US Forestry with the help of the State Forestry Department will provide presentations on Forestry Management and Fire Prevention/Fire Safety in One (1) hour presentation segments on Saturday from 9 AM till 5 PM, during the whole day. They will provide some material to handout. They will require a 20 x 20 tent area.
2. The State Forestry Service will provide demonstrations of its forestry equipment by bringing in heavy forest equipment it uses during operations for Fire Prevention and Fire Control. This equipment consists of Earthmover, Water Tank, Dredger and a Helicopter.
3. The Forest Service will need approximately 3 Acres for their Helicopter to fly into.
4. The Forest Service will come in early Saturday morning due to Forest Use of the equipment in the area. They can not come in any earlier.

Troop 641 will be filming a documentary during the entire event in coordination with our desire to produce a film that shows how scouts are helping to restore the devastation in the community from the Hurricanes of 2004. We will be filming all the boys at different presentations, any and all other activities going on. Our goal is also to have all the scouts at the Camporee to plant a tree. We have arranged with the Forest Service for 4, 000 Pine Seedlings. Our wish is to have the scouts plant all these tree seedlings at one particular time during the Saturday Afternoon. This is part of our storyboard and production schedule. We will coordinate with your approval of this particular event. This filming is a part of a larger outreach community service project that we are coordinating and doing.

We are being provided help in our production from UCF Film and Television Department and Full Sail, as well as David Chernak from ABC Network in New York. Our documentary is in memory of Jerry Chernak and in conjunction with the US Forestry service’s 100th Anniversary.

We will need to bring in extra vehicles to the site for our equipment. We will be using generators where necessary and will strictly control noise pollution from these units as well as keeping all safety issues in tow, as to safe distances and operational use.

We will need to coordinate with all units what they are bringing in, what type of presentations, etc. so that we can finalize our production schedule.

We also would like to have and invite any local, state or federal officials to this event and do interviews with them. The interviews will be solely handle by our scouts in our troop and the subject matter of the interviews will be about the 2004 hurricane devastation in our area, the coordination of help to our area, and how we as citizens can help re-forest the area.

Items that we as a Troop might need are still in an early stage. Film equipment side Full Sail and David Chernak are arranging this type of equipment for us. Other equipment such as 4 wheel vehicles, golf carts or other items have not been addressed yet and we hope we can have this completed this week.

This film documentary is being solely funded by our troop without any outside funding. So far we have had the cooperation of production facilities and the only costs that our troop will be encountering is to feed the extra personnel that will be coming to the Camporee from Full Sail, UCF or ABC. We would like to get a little help in this area.

Our goal in our production is to have all scouts from our council in December through January plant one million (1,000,000) trees that are being provided to us from the State Forestry department and other growers in the state.

Always in Scouting,
