The Great Escape

TThe Great Escape is a challenging competition for Scouts requiring teamwork, leadership, and initiative. This is an event for members of the Scout Section, aged primarily between 10 and 14. Scouts take part in patrols. Teams must have no less than five members in them, and no more than six. Patrols must visit 15 different bases with a challenge awaiting them at each one. Each challenge is on the theme of ‘escape’ and runs along the lines of a ‘now get out of that / crystal maze’ type activity. It is therefore important that teams are prepared for what awaits them.
