Sorry if this is the third email I've sent you, but hey, I can't help it! Take your time to read this and get back to me any way you like. Following an intense meeting on Sunday, we are now in a position to get the preliminary planning of "The greatest event in Marple Scouting History". I am currently working on a logo that captures the true spirit of the event (Though any entries from you lot would be appreciated), and have devised a motto closely resembling Portugal's Euro 2004 motto of "We love football" (Ours is "We love Scouting"). The logo and Motto are to be used on all literature virtual and paper-based about the event, as well as Arial font size 11! The event will be a two day camp incorporating an afternoon of "Battle of Marple" challenges on the Saturday or Sunday afternoon. Both evenings will hold "Wide-game spectaculars" which our wide-game planners will develop with immense attention to detail, game-play, and fun. The rest of the weekend will be planned at one of our many planning meetings! The Battle of Marple will comprise teams of 6 scouts (2 under 13, 2 under 14, 2 under 15). They will battle it out in six individual-based head2head (A la Friends like these) activities (Preliminary games: The Wall, A Puzzle game, Shuffleboard, Bop-it extreme, Memory man), before taking on six team-based challenges (Preliminary activities: Treasure hunt, Pioneering, Tent pitching, Team reef knot), and then finally taking on the "Gruellinator" a head2head assault course. Teams will carry equipment on the assault course, and the start times will be staggered (A la Gladiators) as to how well the team score in the individual and team based activities. Spectators are more than welcome. Champions get Certificate, Badge (?) and Shield and/or Crown (?), not to mention the sheer pride of whipping their rivals! Possible celebration (karaoke) party on their scout night the week after (?) run by us or something. People noted there was not enough water and mud in the games, and that a quiz may be a good idea to include in the event. All details are only preliminary, and better ideas will be much appreciated! |
