1 CAMPOREE COMPETITION EVENTS Cahuenga District Camporee/Cuboree 2015 Prepared. For Adventure! Veterans Memorial Park - April 24-26, Emergency First Aid Troop Knots & Lashings Troop Five Man Snowshoes Troop Scout Ladder Troop Target Troop Foot Pass Relay Troop Speed Map and Compass Troop Send-A-Message Crew Emergency First Aid Troop 1 Each patrol must be able to respond to various First Aid scenarios, ranging from simple to complex. The First Aid Competition consists of three parts: A: A written test (25 questions) 25 Points B: A practical test, involving Situation Diagnosis and Appropriate Action (This could involve any treatment like splinting, bandaging, etc.) 45 Points B: Transport victim over distance 30 Points The total possible score is: 100 points Page 1 - Updated: 3/9/15

2 2 - Knots and Lashings Troop 18 This will be a timed event, with all scouts in the patrol attempting to tie all six knots in under one minute s time simultaneously. One scout from the patrol who is Second Class or below may be omitted from the event without penalty. The six knots that must be tied in one minute s time are: 1. Square Knot 2. Sheet Bend (using two ropes of different diameters) 3. Sheepshank 4. Clove Hitch 5. Two Half Hitches 6. Bowline Scoring: Each scout will receive 15 points for each knot tied correctly, and a 10 point bonus will be earned if the scout correctly ties each knot attempted. For example, a scout who correctly ties all six knots will receive 100 points, a scout who correctly ties 5 knots and does not attempt the sixth will receive 85 points, and a scout who attempts all 6 knots, but only correctly ties 5 will receive 75 points. The Patrol score will be the total number of points earned divided by the number of scouts in the patrol. The number of seconds remaining when the last scout has finished tying will be used as a tiebreaker. Page 2 - Updated: 3/9/15

3 3 - Five Man Snowshoes Troop 36 Patrols will be given appropriate time to position themselves on the snowshoe and practice prior to the actual competition. The snowshoe will be placed on the starting line and the stopwatch will be started only when all are ready. The snowshoe team must then travel across the first goal line, turn 180 degrees and return to cross the finish line. Penalties: 5 points are deducted each time a foot steps off of the snowshoe and touches the ground and 10 points are deduced if a hand touches the ground. The whole team is disqualified if any member falls completely off of the snowshoe. Each Patrol finishing the course in under 10 minutes is awarded = 50 points. At the conclusion of all competition the fastest time will be awarded = 50 points. All slower times will be pro-rated downwards at 30-second increments. Page 3 - Updated: 3/9/15

4 4 - Scout Ladder Troop 94 The Scouts in the Patrol must run a course, forming a ladder to transport their chosen Scout from the start, to the finish line. They must pass him over the obstacles and back onto the ladder without falling off, or touching the ground. Pairs of Scouts in the Patrol will hold the 4' staves to form a human ladder. One Scout will climb up onto the ladder, walking on the "rungs", with his hands on the other Scouts shoulders for support. As the ladder moves forward, the last 2 Scouts then move to the front to keep the ladder moving forward. If the Scout on the ladder should fall off or touch the ground, the Patrol must run back to the starting line and start over while the clock is still running. Time will stop when the climber crosses the finish line and touches ground. This is a timed event. The score is the recorded time. Fastest times will win. Page 4 - Updated: 3/9/15

5 5 - Target Troop 94 With the pivoting A frame at its lowered position, 4 Patrol members must tie a bowline in one end of the rope, slip it over the top of the A frame. Working together, they must raise the A frame to an upright position without stepping into the restricted square area. The Patrol Leader will direct the movements while holding the sandbag/sandbag rope securely up against the pulley. The 4 Patrol members must tie off to the corner stakes using a taut line hitch. When all 4 have tied off, and raised their hands, the Patrol Leader will lower the sand bag to the target. This is a timed event No one can step into the square The knots must hold and be correct Only one chance to land the sandbag on the target Time stops when sandbag makes contact Scoring 6.25 points for each correct Bowline Knot 25 points max points for each correct Taut Line Hitch 25 points max points possible for hitting the target 25 points max points possible Patrol Spirit/Teamwork 25 points max. Maximum possible score = 100 points Page 5 - Updated: 3/9/15

6 6 - Foot Pass Relay Troop 104 All the scouts in the patrol sit side by side on the ground with legs extended. A start line will be placed at one end of the row of scouts and a finish line at the other end of the row. An object will be placed on the feet of the scout nearest the start line and a clock started. The object must then be passed from scout to scout and dropped across the finish line. Objects to be passed may be items like a bucket, beach ball, baseball bat, plastic ring, etc. The scouts cannot touch the objects with their hands and the objects must not touch the ground. If either rule is broken the object goes back into the pile at the start line. The patrol will have 6 minutes to pass as many objects as possible. The patrol can be passing more than one object at a time. (Being able to have multiple objects in play at the same time will give a large patrol an advantage when the time runs out. A small patrol may have a slight advantage because they don't have so many people that have to pass objects.) Scoring: Every object that successfully crosses the finish line: 10 points Any objects still in the relay at the end of 6 minutes: 5 points Patrol spirit: 0 to 20 points (Based on patrol yell, patrol flag, leadership, teamwork, mentoring, and having fun.) Highest number of points wins. Page 6 - Updated: 3/9/15

7 7 - Speed Map and Compass Troop 104 Part 1 - Each patrol must take 2 separate bearings with a hand-held compass from a single aiming point to two different compass targets recognizable by their different symbols. Multiple scouts may take readings and the patrol must choose the best answer for each target. All bearings must be taken in relation to Magnetic North. Each bearing will be noted in degrees of a standard 360 degree compass dial and must be correct within plus or minus 5 degrees. Each target will receive 15 points with 1 point deducted for every degree past the five degree grace. Any error in excess of 20 degrees will receive 0 points. The patrol will then run to the map table for Part 2. Part 2 - Each patrol must indicate the following items on a map of the area. All patrol members can work on the problems, but only one person can give the answers. a: The highest point on the map = 10 points. b: The lowest point on the map = 10 points. c: The confluence of two streams on the map = 10 points. d: A ridgeline saddle on the map = 10 points. e: A generally flat area on the map = 5 points. f: A steep slope on the map = 5 points. g: Select a clearly visible landmark and show its location on the map = 10 points. h: Give the section, range and township for the above feature = 10 points. Speed and accuracy count. Total time allowed is 5 minutes. After the clock stops the answers are scored and points awarded. Maximum score for part 1: 30 points Maximum score for part 2: 70 points Maximum possible score = 100 points Page 7 - Updated: 3/9/15
