camporee

/ˌkæm.pəˈɹiː/ noun

**Camporee** is a large gathering of scout troops who set up tents, share meals, and compete in games and skill challenges. It combines the outdoors with organized fun, turning a weekend into a miniature scouting Olympics. At a camporee, each troop brings its own badge‑earning expertise, but all participants follow a shared schedule of hikes, knot‑tying contests, and campfire storytelling. The event promotes teamwork across different groups, encourages learning new outdoorsmanship tricks, and often ends with a ceremony handing out awards for the most daring, the most creative, and the most cooperative scouts.

【核心含义】童子军大露营,指多支童子军队伍共同参与的户外集会活动,包含扎营、竞赛和技能挑战。

特指童子军系统的官方集体活动,区别于普通露营(camping)。常与"童子军大会""技能竞赛"等词组搭配,不可用于描述非组织性的朋友野营。

【Significado central】Gran reunión de tropas de scouts que acampan juntas, comparten comidas y compiten en juegos y pruebas de habilidades al aire libre.

Término específico del movimiento scout; se distingue de un simple "camping" porque reúne a varias tropas en un evento organizado, generalmente a nivel de distrito o región. En Latinoamérica se conserva con frecuencia como préstamo del inglés "camporee". Se asocia con concursos de nudos, caminatas, fogatas y ceremonias de premiación, y no debe usarse para describir salidas informales de amigos que acampar.

Word Origin Camporee is a blend of camp and jamboree, with camp from Latin 'campus' 'field.' Campus originally meant an open field, and it gives us camp, campus, campaign (military operation in a field), and champion (one who fights in the field). The -oree part is from jamboree, a noisy celebration. So camporee is a field gathering. It's a modern coinage, but the root is ancient.

noun A gathering of Scouts at which accommodation is in tents. countable

The scouts are excited for the annual camporee where they'll sleep in tents.
