Patrol Leaders Page
This page has some basic hints (not bonus points) and suggestions for Patrol Leaders. To suggest more information this page needs please have your leader email the Vice Chief of Klondike.
1. Remember this is a competition event. Your Patrol scoring will be based on many variables, including being on time to meetings. Plan ahead and listen for the bugle calls.
2. Bugle calls ALWAYS signal an event or meeting. If you hear the call, look at your schedule.
3. Your scout handbook will be your best friend during events.
4. Do not assume anything. Follow the directions at events just remember, some events are designed where you can utilize other methods, other than the conventional methods to complete them.
5. Use your imagination with the events. Impress the judges. They love to see a patrol come up with a different way to complete an event
6. Remember that LEADERSHIP is a factor in Scoring,
7. Patrol Spirit is a MAJOR factor in scoring. Do all your members participate? Are they encouraging the other members?
8. Do not ever argue with a judge. If you think that you have been treated unfairly by a judge, DO NOT wait until Sunday morning to bring it to the attention of the Field Marshals. They are there to help you during the derby.
9. We cannot emphasize enough. DO NOT START THE DERBY WITH OUT YOUR SLED ITEMS
10. Be respectful of other Patrols. It is not very Scout like to laugh at a Patrol for failing an event.
11. There will be a MESS UP Award for the Patrol or Patrols, that go to the wrong first event. Make double sure you know which event you are supposed to be at.
12. Do not be afraid to approach the staff if you have any problems.
13. At YOUR requests Troop Leaders will not be permitted to follow Patrols from event to event. There may be special circumstances.
14. Patrol Leaders will need to bring their Patrol Flag and be at the HQ Tent on time for the Patrol Leaders Meeting Saturday morning.
15. Above ALL ELSE Have fun.
