First I would like to say hello to everyone. Now and then I am able to log on at work and see what is up.
I have both some good news and some bad. First the good, I will still be able to host the Winter Camp planning meetings at my house if that is what is desired by the youth. Now the bad, I will not be able to attend this years Winter Camp due to a much needed vacation in the Western Caribbean. With some sun and fun, Scuba tanks, dolphins and, little umbrellas. I might miss Winter Camp a little. More news later. Kupser

I think the key might be to have the grid not in either sector. Two teams each with a sector. Some x's are earned (they have a judge with them) and some have to be found. Successfully cooking dinner by some time nets an X. Everyone being in bed by some time nets an X (to reduce the all-nighter effect). There could be a search either at night or in the morning or both where you could find them capture the flag style. With two earned by successfully camping, that would leave as many as 3 to be found.
There could even be a trail with the remainder on it (like the Pedro). You hike the Pedro and at the mid-point is the grid perhaps... The two teams start from opposite ends and maybe the first X is at the spot where they should eat or camp...

True, and I think less than cunning is probably overly generous.

Maybe each team should have a grid. That way each team has to play defense and offense.

Or, in a less than cunning move, an explosion in a fire...

Sounds like a fun activity....and no that group was never found, despite making a fire and explosions.

That might be the way to get interaction between the teams. One team has to guard the grid, the other two want to put their marks on it.
Sneaking in and putting the mark in place would be quite a challenge.

I'm all for outdoor things at Winter Camp. I think splitting up into groups with missions is a good idea. We could tie in the X marks the spot equipment somehow. The more we use it, the better, I think

The College of Winter Camping is prepared to assist in any preparations for overnight outdoor experiences. There was much enthusiasm generated for the impromptu ice camping experience held at Winter Camp XXXI.

My troop had a winter campout a few years ago where a small group was allowed to make camp on Friday night and then had to survive the weekend without being found by the remainder of the group.
I think we could probably do something similar with perhaps two or three patrols trying to find each other while avoiding being found. Think of it as an overnight capture the objective, perhaps starting when the teams leave the cabins at 6:00 pm and ending with lunch the following day.

I believe there is an interest among the youth in conducting an overnight experience, but with the twist of establishing a hidden rebel base.

I suggest a Bivowac themed event, not unlike the going west event from Winter Camp XXVIII. We could get to camp, get settled, have a hearty lunch, then back some overnight gear and hit the trail.

On the trail we could have some activies, like 4-way volleyball or something else. We could cook a small-ish dinner at a campsite, like Migisi, then spend the night and go back to BC in the morning.

This event could also take place on a day that is not the first day.

Just making sure this works.
