Karankawa's Challenge II

April 15-17, 2005

Each patrol has two minutes to accomplish each event.
The patrol with the fastest time wins the event! If your patrol does not compete or complete an event, the maximum time for the event is added to the patrol score. The patrol with the lowest score overall wins the Grand Prize! Patrols must be present at the final campfire to win.

Games have always been one of the most important elements of Scouting and of the "Patrol Method". With "GOOD" games, you can emphasize and practice Scouting skills. A good game or contest will show whether the boys have learned their stuff... AND... you'll have FUN in the process.

Remember that Scouting games should...

Be FUN!

Be SAFE!
