Found it https://shacbsa.org/coastal-plains-camporee Looks like Plan A was a scout-run, patrol competition weekend at Camp Brosig. 👍 Details Every troop must send a representative to the Roundtable to help plan the camp-o-ree. Every troop needs run a part of the camp-o-ree (e.g., competition, facilities). This year’s camp-o-ree promises to challenge the youth leadership, as well as stretching everyone else’s comfort zones. These events cannot happen without each Scout’s competitive spirit and participation.

Another recent Camporee with a severe turn in the weather - sustained winds of 20–25 mph, gusts reaching 45 mph, and a tornado watch. The adults quickly came up with a Plan B which they called a "Camporee Audible". "Due to weather concerns, the 2025 District Camporee (TX) scheduled for the weekend of April 4 was adjusted at the last minute. Rather than cancel, Troop 1880 (Richmond) and Troop 941 (Fulshear) worked together to hold a one-day merit badge event on Saturday, April 5. The event resulted in 46 merit badges earned by Scouts in areas such as Chess, Coin Collecting, Entrepreneurship, and Traffic Safety."

I don't know what the original Camporee program was. -
8 to 11 is "possible" and not "unusual", but it's still far from normal. ... It's just very doable. A few independent studies offered by camp. A few camp special events (such as an afternoon Fingerprinting for the Fingerprinting MB). Add a pushy parent. etc, etc, etc. Heck, you can probably earn one or more Citizen MBs just while at camp if the scout does some self-study before camp. -

Are you serious? How is that possible? My son is Cub-age now, but when I was a council camp staffer in the early 2000s, 4 MBs was the max at summer camp. There were 2 sessions in the morning and 2 sessions in the afternoon. They ran Monday through Thursday with Friday being a "free" day. We were accused of overscheduling kids back then.
