Quest for the Holy Grail

Posted by Prescott on October 16, 2009

Sharpen your skills and your swords, its time for the Quest for the Holy Grail Adventure Race and Medieval Pig Roast.

The November Campout (Nov 6,7,8th) is devoted to this once-a-year, life-sized video game.  Patrols will compete for the coveted Troop 16 Cup and this year’s race is better than ever.  There will be more challenges and some cool new stuff (paintball slingshots, roadboarding, along with archery and human catapulting).

Campout times are normal.  We’ll leave the Church at 4pm on Friday.  The race begins promptly at 8am on Saturday and ends at 1pm.  The distances are shorter this year, so teams should complete more challenges.  After the race, Scouts will help with the Medieval Pig Roast and we’ll all eat at around 4pm (families are encouraged to come.) 

We’ll be using Peaceful Valley Scout Ranch’s facilities for the race.  While its a little longer drive out there, entering the Ranch is free and we have the run of the place.  For anyone coming on Saturday morning, the center post of the race is Castle Arghhh and it will be located at the old pool area (just turn right at the Dobbins main parking lot and follow the flags).
