"Scout"ish Highland Games
Join us for the most anticipated event of the year at Muskingum Valley Scout Reservation: the Scout-ish Highland Games! Grab your Clan's attire and let the spirit of the Highlands guide you to a weekend filled with adventure and camaraderie.
The festivities kick off with a grand Parade of Clans, where each group showcases their unique spirit and style as outlined in the leader guide. Throughout the weekend, immerse yourself in a plethora of activities designed to test your skills and agility. From the traditional Caber Toss and Sheaf Toss with a shovel to the quirky Wellie Toss and Maide-leisg (lazy stick) challenge, there's something for everyone to enjoy.
Don't miss out on the excitement of the Flodh Gearradh (Bucksaw) competition and the heart-pounding action of the Farmers Walk Relay. And for those with a sweet tooth and a knack for baking, be sure to participate in the Shortbread Competition – your chance to showcase your culinary prowess!
As the sun sets on Saturday evening, the celebration continues with a Campwide Ceilidh (kay-lee) Crackerbarrel. Indulge in the delectable treats of the Shortbread Competition alongside other snacks and delights, while enjoying the vibrant music and lively atmosphere.
So gather your Clan, pack your bags, and prepare for a weekend of unforgettable memories at the Scout-ish Highland Games. We can't wait to see you there!
