Welcome Scouts and Scouters to Franklin Island Rendezvous:
We have a great weekend planned at the Franklin Island Rendezvous (FIR) with lots of outdoor activity and a smashing Saturday evening program. To insure your enjoyment of this GRC event the FIR staff would like to pass on the following information.
Safety - Our FIR site is open to the public and fronts the mighty Missouri River. We will have a security team on site to monitor camping and parking areas. We want Scouts and Scouters to enjoy the river but we caution patrols to look at the river, smell it, throw in a rock, but stay away from the river if not accompanied by an adult. The river is off limits after dark. We want a safe and accident free FIR. We expect non-Scouters to be using the river access and parking area throughout the day and night of the weekend. We expect Scouting courtesy be extended to all.
Consider this a PRIMITIVE camp experience. FIR will provide water, latrines, and the fun experience. You bring the enthusiasm and all the camp material you can pack in a short distance (a limited number of carts will be available). We encourage all to come early on Friday afternoon to unload and set up. Staff will be on hand noon Friday. Class �A� uniforms are required for Saturday evening activities. All troops are encouraged to bring and display the National Colors and unit flags.
An Adult Leader cracker barrel is scheduled for Friday night 10 pm at FIR HQ. A Scoutmasters conference will be held at that time for an update on events. Another SM conference is scheduled for 9 am Saturday. We encourage one representative from each troop to attend.
Remember FIR is a BSA event therefore no smoking and no alcohol. Leaders are reminded about the two deep leadership rule and �leave no trace� camping. Only cook stoves and portable, aboveground fireplaces permitted. PARKING will be very tight. Staff encourages leaders to come early and be understanding as we position over 100 cars in very confined spaces.
For those in need of last minute items Snoddy�s Store, on Highway 5 next to the Missouri River Bridge, has volunteered to act as Camp Quartermaster. Remember to say you are with FIR and your tax-free purchase will be handled quickly.
Directions: Depending on your approach the target area is the City of Boonville. From points east take the Midway exit off I-70 and Highway 40 (approx 20 miles) to FIR. From points west take any Boonville exit through the city across the Missouri River Bridge (Hwy 5) at Boonville and go east on Highway 40 to FIR.

We are excited about the great programs and events we have
planned for the Cupbord Creek Encampment and Franklin Island Rendezvous. A lot
of work has gone into planning these outings and numerous Scouts and Scouters
from around the Great Rivers Council have been involved for almost two and a
half years planning this quadrennial council-wide camporee.� Many organizations have made special
contributions to the council for these events, including the Missouri National
Guard, Osage Canoe, Missouri Pork Producers, Missouri Departments of
Agriculture, Natural Resources, Conservation, and Higher Education.� When you see a member of the Missouri
National Guard at the outings or a member of one of the other organizations at
Encampment or Rendezvous, please thank them for all they have done to make this
a special council-wide event.� We hope
you, your Scouts, and other Scouters are excited about these upcoming events as
we are.
The
Great Rivers Council of the Boy Scouts of America is going to celebrate the
bicentennial of the Lewis & Clark Corps of Discovery Military Expedition in
a grand and patriotic style with two three day camporees.� Cupbord Creek Encampment will be on
Memorial Day Weekend 2004, May 28,29,30.�
Franklin Island Rendezvous will be the following weekend, June
4,5,6, 2004.� Both camporee locations
have significant connections to the original Lewis & Clark Expedition.� The Missouri National Guard will host Cupbord
Creek Encampment at the Ike Skelton Training Site Headquarters of the Guard,
five miles east of
Cupbord
Creek Encampment will be the
first Boy Scout Camporee ever held at the Ike Skelton Training Site,
Headquarters of the Missouri National Guard.�
Cupbord Creek Encampment has received the Official Endorsement of the Missouri Lewis and
Clark Bicentennial Commission.� The
theme for this camporee is: Frontier Skills and Team Building
Competitions.� The 400-acre site has a
30-acre riverfront where the campsite and riverfront activities and campfire
entertainment will be held.� Troops will
arrive after 6 p.m. on Friday, May 28, 2004, to set up their campsites.� Over 3000 Boy Scouts and Scouters are expected
to attend.� Friday night entertainment by
the Fort Riley
Mounted Cavalry Honor Guard and Artillery Half Section in period dress will
be presented in the earthen arena adjacent to the campsite.� Strict advance registration will be required
for this camporee due to security needs for this secure military
installation.� No on-site registration by
Scouts or Scout Leaders will occur for this event.� Registration forms for this event are
available later in this document. Online registration is encouraged and caries
a significant discount.� The
Unforeseen military requirements or
weather-related conditions may significantly alter planned events.� Adequate transportation will be maintained at
the camporee so that prompt departure of all non-military personnel is
possible.� Prior to the camporee, if
alteration or cancellation of this event is required, the camporee committee
will notify one emergency contact person per unit.� Careful selection by the unit of this contact
person is essential.� These contact
persons� phone numbers and e-mail address must be accurate on the unit�s
registration form.

is continuing for Saturday, May 29, 2004.�
The program tentatively includes the following: riverboat

of the Missouri National Guard.� The
