Approximately 30% of the Scouts and Venturers participating at the Camporee will be from Mexico, and a smaller number of participants will be from outside of North America. The International Camporee will provide a venue and opportunity for Scouts from the U.S., Mexico, and around the world to meet each other and share their customs, traditions and scouting experiences.

LocationThe 2012 International Camporee will be held at Mataguay Scout Ranch, 27955 Highways 79, Santa Ysabel, CA 92070, 65 miles from San Diego. The San Diego-Imperial Council has made major investments to upgrade the facilities at Mataguay Scout Ranch over the past three years. The Mataguay swimming pool has been improved, and the new Pool House has hot and cold showers and flush toilets. A new flag plaza has been constructed at the A-Frame where guests check in, Parker Lake has been dredged and enlarged, and the road to Mataguay has been scraped smooth.
