==Boy Scouts of America==
In the [[Boy Scouts of America]], districts or councils may hold a camporee once or twice a year.<ref>{{Cite web |title=U.S. Scouting Service Project, Camporee |url=http://usscouts.org/usscouts/camporees.asp|access-date =2005-04-04}}</ref> Typically, the camporee involves [[scout patrol|patrol]]-based competitions, with events such as: hiking preparedness, [[making fire|fire building]], [[knot]] tying, [[first aid]], [[Emergency management|emergency preparedness]], [[Pioneering (Scout Movement)|pioneering]],  [[Citizenship in the United States|citizenship]],  [[Scout method#Team system|patrol mystery event (team building)]], [[outdoor cooking]], [[camping]] or [[orienteering]]. Some camporees also integrate work on [[Merit badge (Boy Scouts of America)|merit badges]]. The camporee may be centered on a central theme such as [[living history]], [[horsemanship]], [[List of water sports|aquatics]], [[shooting sports]], a historical trail, a [[Community service|service project]], and most recently [[Geocaching]]. Camporees often have a campfire program with awards and presentations, skits and songs. Camporees also may have a service project that helps the hosting facility. Typical service projects could be [[Pruning#Pruning landscape and amenity trees|pruning trees]], spreading [[mulch]],  [[Wildfire#Health effects|clearing brush]],  [[Trail#Trail construction|trail repair]], [[tree planting]] or trash pick up.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Camporee events|access-date =2008-05-22 |url=http://usscouts.org/camporees/general.asp |website=U.S. Scouting Service Project}}</ref>

The scouts usually camp, compete and cook by  [[Scout method|patrol]]. The patrol will have a patrol name, patrol flag, patrol cheer or yell and a  [[Scout method#Patrol system|patrol leader]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=BSA Patrols |url=http://clipart.usscouts.org/library/BSA_Boy_Scout_Patrols |website=U.S. Scouting Service Project}}</ref> Patrols are usually made of six to eight scouts, a patrol duty roster is made and posted so patrol responsibilities are rotated, like: head cook,  [[KP duty|assistant cook, cleanup, KP]], fire builder, and  [[Drinking water|water duty]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Troop 218 Camp Duty Roster |url=http://www.troop218mn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/CampDutyRosterMenuPlanner.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130718013513/http://www.troop218mn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/CampDutyRosterMenuPlanner.pdf |archive-date=2013-07-18 |access-date=2012-04-30 |df=mdy-all}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=U.S. Scouting Service Project, Patrol duty roster |url=http://www.usscouts.org/netresources/forms/gencampoutprep.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120501074544/http://www.usscouts.org/netresources/forms/gencampoutprep.pdf |archive-date=2012-05-01 |access-date=2012-04-30 |df=mdy-all}}</ref>

The [[Order of the Arrow]] is the national honor society of the Boy Scouts of the America, which is a recognized group of scouts that have displayed high enthusiasm and performed at high skill throughout their scouting careers. The Order of the Arrow often helps hold the event or will be leaders for part of the event, like the campfire or hike in. In doing so this gives older boy scouts new leader opportunities.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Order of the Arrow History |url=http://usscouts.org/honorsociety/oa.asp |website=U.S. Scouting Service Project}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=BSA web site, The Order of the Arrow, Scouting's National Honor Society |url=http://www.scouting.org/scoutsource/boyscouts/orderofthearrow.aspx |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120424200435/http://www.scouting.org/scoutsource/BoyScouts/OrderoftheArrow.aspx |archive-date=2012-04-24 |access-date=2012-04-30}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Mikanakawa Lodge 101, Order of the Arrow, Council-wide Camporee |url=http://www.miki.org/archives/144-council-wide-camporee.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120906205938/http://www.miki.org/archives/144-council-wide-camporee.html |archive-date=2012-09-06 |access-date=2012-04-30 |df=mdy-all}}</ref>
