Idea: 
The purpose of this event is to promote camp wide participation, teamwork, and spirit while learning and applying scout knowledge.

Layout:  
This game will have a similar layout as last year. All troops will begin with equal standing, but as they progress through the different stages, elimination begins; the first troop to complete the final activity without being eliminated will be the winners. All troops will be assigned a troop guide (supervising staff member), also some stages will have their own judges.  JUDGES AND TROOP GUIDES WORDS ARE FINAL!!!!

Stages:

First Aid:
The second event involves only the fastest 6 teams, the ones who have obtained the orange flags from stage 1. As this stage begins, the troop will be notified that one scout (picked by troop guide) has been injured and must be transported to the first aid station. Your troop must construct a safe and sturdy stretcher using poles, blankets, and/or ropes to transport the victim down to the first aid station, some distance away. At this first aid station, the Medic (station judge) will tell the troop what the injury is, the troop then performs first aid on that victim using their own supplies. Suggested supplies are triangle bandages and splints. Unacceptable devices are pre-built stretchers and any type of personal carrying will not be allowed. Upon completion of this stage, and on the Medic’s word, the troop will them proceed to grab one of 4 orange flags, and then move to the next area upon the direction of the troop guide. If there are no more remaining orange flags, your troop is eliminated and must remain seated until the end of the event.

Raising the Flag:
This is the final stage. The two remaining troops must construct a 10 ft flagpole (poles provided). The flagpole must be able to stand alone with at least three mooring lines staked to the ground. Also a troop flag (which is pre-made, see below for more information) must be raised after the flagpole is constructed. The flagpole, with flag must be up without outside aid for the time it takes the troop members to recite the Cachalot Cheer. The troop with the first correct completion of this stage will be deemed the winners.

Troop Flag Details:
The flag must be a rectangle 2.5’ by 1.5’. It must contain the current year and troop number. All other designs and decorations will only be limited by BSA standards.

Remember:
This game is to promote competitive fun. Verbal and physical abuse will not be tolerated. Also, we expect all troops to abide by the ideas behind this game and its rules, this is all for fun, that is our highest goal.
