The Death of The Samboree?!

So, at our last Good Sam Club meeting our president brought news from our state chapter that Good Sam Corporate was planning on changing the name of "Samboree" to "Camp Out" to better market the RV Lifestyle.

Anyone else out there hear of this?!

    I was told that Samboree is out and rally is in. Our local campouts have always been campouts.

    A few years ago we weren't allowed to refer to a Samboree as a rally because only the national club had "The Rally". Now they want us to call Samborees a rally.

    The hierarchy of Good Sam changes their policies as often as the wind changes directions. As a chapter officer I have seen constant confusion and change in the last several years. I am tired of the silliness, especially since management considers the club as only a "marketing tool" for the sale of RV goods and services.
