Super Scout Challenge

This is the Crosland Hill “Scouting Challenge”.

Within the booklet there are quite a number of tasks.  The idea is for the Scout to be sponsored at a certain amount per taskno “fixed amounts” please!

If you do not know how to do a particular task, it is up to you to find out! You can:

bullet

ask a friend;

bullet

ask a parent;

bullet

ask a Leader.

When you can complete a task, go to any Leader and show him/her.  You may have 2 attempts at any one task, but they must be on different days.

A Message To The Sponsor.

The aim of this challenge is two-fold:

  1. to raise money for Scouting activities;
  2. more importantly, to encourage Scouts to learn the basics of Scouting.

Consequently, would you please sponsor this Scout at an amount for each task successfully completed, not a “fixed amount”.  This should encourage the Scout to successfully attempt the maximum number of tasks.

Please contact Dave Calverley should you require further details.

Thank you for you support.
