I. Bear Overboard Games (BOG)
Bear Overboard Games (BOG) will consist of a series of competitive games involving smaller groups of Arrowmen. They are designed to occupy scouts arriving early to Conclave, and bring scouts from other lodges together in fun. Specifically, the BOG games are as follows:
A. Treasure Hunt : This Scavenger Hunt-styled game will let Arrowmen find where various objects are hidden around the conclave site in teams of 3-5, requiring each team to have at least one Arrowmen from another lodge with them, encouraging teamwork among the different lodges. Arrowmen receive the Treasure hunt information in their registration packet.
B. Trolley : Arrowmen will race with a 2 x 4 tied to each foot, a team-building activity.
D. Dance Dance Revolution “DDR” : This popular video game will be made available to Arrowmen that want to participate for some fun times in a tent set up near registration. DDR games will be borrowed from some conclave staff using Playstation Game consoles.
E. Bean Bag Tic Tac Toe : Arrowmen will attempt to toss a bean bag on tic-tac-toe squares
F. Board Games : Arrowmen will be able to play Battleship and other popular board games.
F. Movie Night : After the closing of the Friday night show, and during the cracker barrel, two Navy-themed movies will be played near the camping area.
II. CAMPING PROMOTION COMPETITION
The Camping promotions competition will take place adjacent to Friday Night Registration near the parking lot. Camping Promotions competitions will be held Friday night because in past years scouts were unable to participate in Saturday afternoon activities, so Lodges should be sure to have their Camping Promotion Booths ready by 8:00 on Friday Night for Competition.
