Patrol Challenge
Awards Celebration | |
Patrol leaders - please RSVP to Paul Oliver with the number of patrol members planning to attend. They need a good ice cream count. Thanks! We want to update this web site with lots of comments on your experiences from both adult leaders and Scouts. They can be as short as a sentence or two, or as long as a couple paragraphs. If you have a moment, please e-mail Paul Oliver with what you would like to say. |
We will be handing out your participation ribbons, patches, plaques for winning patrols, and comprehensive statistics on how every patrol scored in all areas of the event. You will also be able to pick up the CD's you purchased, with all photos of every patrol and check-in photos. Our videographer Stacy will be filming the awards, and may also be looking for interviews from the adults and Scouts. Patrols should attend in full Scout uniform. If all members cannot attend, at least one member from each patrol, and their advisor, should attend. Bring all those great patrol flags we saw during the weekend. |
What do you get...
- ...when you give over 400 energetic Boy and Girl Scouts a budget, a list of clues, and some enthusiastic adult guidance?
- ...when you let those Scouts figure out on their own where to spend their money, their time, and their energy?
- ...when you tell them to bring you a one-humped camel, a Sou'wester, a mobius, or a spline?
- ...when you ask them to take pictures of unique and interesting places all over Southern California?
Here's what you get...
- 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 and a feeling of growth, not found in very many other contexts.
- You get a renewed spirit of adventure, and a new faith in the leaders of tomorrow.
- You get the WLACC Patrol Challenge!
- ...oh yeah, there's a little fun involved, too.
It's a scavenger hunt, it's a photo safari, it's fun patrol challenges and activities.
Join us for a wild, fun filled, entertaining weekend at the Patrol Challenge. We have some incredible activities, locations, surprises, mysteries, and challenges planned. Are you up to it?
