Career Staff Visits Normandy

The council career staff come together for an annual planning conference to address strategic and in some cases very tactical issues.

The week of February 21, the staff met in Normandy to set some things in motion for 2023 and beyond, and also visited key sites of our Normandy Camporee to understand their roles and responsibilities.

Pictured left is our Program Supply Center Manager, Jonathan Phillips who tried out one of the interactive displays of the Airborne Museum.

Camp Kieffer at Camping Omaha Beach

The Scouts and Guides of France have fully embraced the Normandy Camporee 2022 and we welcome them with open arms.

Their participation will be as a contingent vs. individual units, and therefore we needed a large campsite for their anticipated more than 500 participants. An adjoining field to Camping Omaha Beach Campground has now been approved as that site. (See map above)

For those of you who have have been to the Normandy Camporee in the past will recognize this location as the site previously used for parking. We now have increased parking for cars and light vehicles. Parking in this facility at Camping Omaha Beach campground eliminates any need to move your vehicle to attend the Saturday morning campfire, as there is a trail that leads directly to the beach.
