Competitions
Camping Competition
A camping competition will run from the second day of Camp. The purpose of this competition is:
- Assist with raising the standards of health and safety on the Camp.
- Prepare contingents for what to expect at Jamboree.
- Training and upskilling of all Leaders.
A copy of the marking sheet is below. This marking sheet may be slightly changed closer to the Camp, but the overall layout and structure will remain the same.
There will be top contingent chosen each day, based on the scores from the daily inspections. Winners will be awarded the “Kamping Cup” (yes that is how it is spelt) which they will keep for 24 hours.
Promise Cup Competition (Scouts only)
A youth member will be awarded the Promise Cup each day from the second day onwards. This youth member will be chosen for their adherence to the Scout Promise and Law. There are no set rules for the award of this cup. In the past, the Cup has been awarded for:
- Pushing their personal boundaries far beyond anything they had done before.
- Care and consideration for other camp members.
- Positive attitude and giving everything a go, despite size or disability.
- Being very helpful and showing initiative.
Nominations for the Promise Cup can come from anyone, and should be given to the Camp Director.
