Program: This is a fantastic opportunity for Scouts meet for a day-long, patrol-level competition of scout skills, individual knowledge, teamwork, and ingenuity. The object is simple: patrols earn gold for Scout Skills, Scout Spirit, and Patrol Cooperation while having fun in the wintery cold. Patrols use a map and station list to determine which competitions they want to try. Each patrol plans its route, selects the stations it will attempt, and budgets it’s time to maximize its winnings.
