If your photo and bio have yet made the headlines of Normandy News, be sure to send them to our Communications Chair, Kelly Wratkowski. We know you have a lot to tell us about yourself.... but please keep it to 100 words or less written in 3rd person. We look forward to learning more about each and every member of our staff.

On August 27, Normandy Camporee 2022 Chair Dick Meijaard; Scout Executive Tom Jansen; and Council CFO Chris Wolfe met with Gwenn Jeffroy, the Sous-Prefet of Bayeux, France.

Prepare to register as an official member of the Normandy Camporee 2022 Staff. In just a few short weeks, our official registration site will open. (Fees are being finalized by the Budget & Finance Committee) At that time, you will be invited to officially register and tell us what size jacket we need to order for you. Each paid staff member will receive jacket and other items.

One of the purposes of staff apparel at an event is for ease of identification by our guests..... and we know that it can be cold, windy and wet in Normandy in April.... so our staff will each receive a jacket with a really cool logo as well.

If you joined the full staff meeting last week, you know that our Normandy Camporee Chair, Dick Meijaard, introduced a new challenge to our staff. Who can carry our Normandy Camporee badge or staff motto patch to the most interesting or unique place? Mike Brown started us off, by taking our staff motto patch onboard his flight with the C-47 "That's All Brother" - the plane that lead the airborne invasion on D-Day. To top it off, he had the pilots of his flight sign his patch.

For the most interesting and unique photo submitted, our Normandy Camporee Chair will provide a equally interesting and unique reward.
