Colombo Camporee is one of the most anticipated events in the Colombo District Scout Year Calendar. This is an annual fixture where more than 2000 scouts from around 40 scout troops camp at the Vihara Maha Devi Park & engage in different camp activities such as the Opening Ceremony, Closing Ceremony, Skill-o-rama (Activity Award), Talent Show, Arena Display, Sports Tournaments, Wide Games & many more. The first Camporee was organized by Captain Vernon W. Halpe (a teacher at Royal Primary School at that time) and Mr. Ali Ossen, at the Royal Primary Grounds from 5th to 7th August 1949, with just a few hundred Scouts.
