Dunk The Counselor

A Troop/Patrol Firebuilding Competition
Looking for a cool way to pratice your scout skills? Are you an experienced scout looking to show off your knowlege? Do you have a favorite staff member you would like to see soaking wet? Then Dunk the Counselor is for you!

Scouts work as a patrol/troop to quickly build a fire, burn the string and drench the counselor. The program takes place in the Scoutcraft area on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings at 7:45 PM.

Dunk the Counselor is an excellent way for patrols to build teamwork and show off to the other troops in camp what they know. The fastest time each week is posted in scoutcraft for all to see. If you have any questions about Dunk the Counselor or suggestions to make Dunk the Counselor better, please speak with the Scoucraft Director.


Dunk the Counselor Rules
