Scout Patrol Challenge - Sept. 5th - 7th, 2008
It's a scavenger hunt; it's a photo safari, it's a challenge filled with activities!
You get healthy, thinking kids actively engaged with each other and their leaders as they explore the far reaches of their own creativity, apply skills they didn't know they had, and acquire skills they would never have imagined for themselves. From navigation to budgeting, from logistics to negotiation, the scouts who participate in this challenge come away with a sense of accomplishment, a feeling of growth, and self confidence not found in very many other contexts. You get a renewed spirit of adventure and a new faith in the leaders of tomorrow. Oh yeah, there's a lot of FUN involved, too! Please click here for all the info.
