All events my be attended by the troop or leaders and scouts individually. Event levels relate to the organizational level on that date. Events like Summer Camp  dates are "council-wide" on many dates, but it has a "troop" Event Level because that is the week that the troop is going to camp. All districts have Fall Camporee's, however, Troop 911 attends as a troop the "district" Event Level on the weekend selected by our district.
