The first patrol to succeed in frying an edible pancake,
as approved by the judge, is the winner.
Station 4—Bucket Brigade Contest
Equipment: 1,600 feet of binder twine, 8 drinking cups
(with continuous loop handles) or mess-kit frying pans
with hole in handle, and two buckets (one full of water)
for each patrol. Tie one end of binder twine to tree or
solid stake, and string the twine in a circuitous course,
around trees, over brush, back and forth in a random
fashion. Loop the eight cups or mess-kit frying pans on
the line by passing the end of the twine through the han-
dles of the cups or holes in handles of frying pans. Tie
the other end of the twine to another tree or solid stake.
Place a full bucket of water at one end of the trail and
the empty bucket at the other end.
Action: The patrol must transfer as much water as
possible from the full bucket to the empty bucket using
only the cups or frying pans on the binder twine to trans-
port the water.
Judging: At the end of 10 minutes, measure with a ruler
the amount of water in the final bucket to determine how
much water was moved. Patrol with the highest level of
water in the bucket is the winner.
The Camporee Campfire
Most camporees wind up their activities with a colorful
campfire program, and here many happy and memorable
2, i
things take place. It is an intertroop and patrol affair
with everyone participating in one way or another.
Guests may be present as many parents try to get to this
part of the program. Thus the program should be well
planned and carried out.
Troops should study the camporee information pre-
pared by the camporee committtee and work out their
plans accordingly for campfire program participation.
Some of these parts may be presented by the whole troop
and some by individual patrols. By planning ahead the
boys can prepare costumes or props and have them ready
at campfire time.
The successful campfire is more than just a program
around a fire. It has purpose and direction. The purpose
may be one or a mixture of several of the following: fun,
fellowship, entertainment, adventure, action, education,
inspiration, and leadership development.
The purposes may be accomplished by using the four
major elements in campfire programing. Study them and
decide which ones your troop and patrols will want to use
as their parts in the program.
1. Stunts and skits. The information from the camporee
committee may suggest that each troop (or patrol) be
prepared to present a stunt or skit. If the troop attendance
is large, there may not be sufficient time for every patrol
to present one and it becomes necessary to designate one
stunt or skit per troop. These may be humorous, histori-
cal, educational (portraying a skill), musical, or other.
Seeyour Patrol Leader's Handbook, Troop Activities, and
the Scoutmaster's Handbook for suggestions.
