Snowdon Troop Dominate District Checkpoint Challenge

18th May 2013 by a_gaunt

On Sunday 12th May, 3 teams from the Snowdon troop took part in the District Checkpoint Challenge.

This is a short hike where the teams complete a challenge at every checkpoint – that and attempt to transport a Pringle round the entire course without breaking it !

Some of the challenges the teams undertook were lighting a fire to burn through some string; build a sedan chair and carry a member of the team round a course; matching a flag , country and Scout motto and a minefield made of cups !

The teams from the Snowdon Troop secured 2nd, 3rd and joint 4th place – our lowest scoring team was only 5 points away from the winner – if only they hadn’t broken the pringle !!

A BRILLIANT result from all of the teams WELL DONE
