This week clubs from all over the Northwest arrived in OshKosh, Wis., for the Forever Faithful 2014 International Camporee. The Northwest clubs traveled by bus, car, plane and train for a five day camporee held every five years. Campers have the opportunity to earn badges like juggling, semaphor, and pine car derby. On Tuesday night, clubs representing the six conferences of the North Pacific Union Conference lowered the flags at sunset in a formal ceremony led by Loren Rogers, Master Guide from the Riverview Seventh-day Adventist church in Washougal, Wash.
