Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and Leaders, & the children enrolled in Camp Compass will again be admitted into the show free of charge. We are working hard putting together a top notch program for the scouts. The invitation includes any or all days of the event on the condition that scouts and leaders are in class A uniform tops. Special events and instructors will be at the show to share their outdoor passions with the scouts. They can come out and hone there skills as an outdoorsman and learn from some of the best outdoorsman, in the area.
The Scout Challenge is a competition comprised of 10 stations requiring outdoor skills of all kinds. Participants will receive instruction and a score upon their completion of each activity. At the completion of all 10 stations, participants will turn in their score cards for a completion prize. At the end of the weekend, the top three scores will receive prizes. Some of the skills included will be Black Powder shooting, BB gun, and Video Shooting, Tomahawk Throwing, Rod Casting, Knot Tying, Bow Shooting and more.
This year we will also have a Troop Challenge for Boy & Girl Scout troops to compete for cash prizes for their unit. This will be a Pioneering and / or Camp Gadget type competition. Here are the rules, all projects must be made using natural tree timbers, and they must be held together with Cecil rope or twine and may be notched and or dovetailed together. These projects can be anything gateways, bridges, catapults, rafts, chairs, towers, Indian type beds, or any inventive creation they can come up with. All entrees can be delivered and set up on the Kempton Fair Grounds Thursday June 21st or Friday June 22nd. We would like all projects pre-registered via e-mail to Bob Danenhower through the Web Site e-mail system by June 10th. I just wonder if there is a group of girl scouts out there that could possibly beat a group of boy scouts at this challenge!!
