On the 21st of November, the day before Thanksgiving we will be having our Boy Scout Skills patrol competition. Please come, have fun, and compete. There will be an award for the winning patrol so make sure that you practice the skills that we worked on at Usery Pass. For those who didn't attend our campout, aside from missing out on a good time, you missed an opportunity to get some insight as to what this competition is about.
Here is a list of the competitions:
- Fire building
- You'll be building a log cabin style fire
- Fire staring
- ...without matches, lighters, or boy scout firewater
- Orienteering
- You will need to bring your compass
- Tent set-up
- Easier and faster than you think
- Tent breakdown
- Less of a chore than it sounds
- Cooking
- Knot tying
- Here's the cheat sheet
- Square knot
- Sheep bend
- Two half hitches
- Bowline
- Taught line
Remember that this competition is not scout versus scout, it is patrol versus patrol. Come prepared to support your patrol members and help your patrol win.
We will be outside for the entire event so come dressed so that you can stay warm (dress in layers)
