An annual Troop 333 tradition. Scouts compete in teams in an Amazing Race-style scavenger hunt and skills competition to uncover the hidden secrets of San Francisco.

Each destination has a skills challenge and a clue to the next location. Scouts navigate on foot or using public transportation.

By popular request, this year’s event is open to all troops in our district.

Space is limited. Signup deadline: May 9

 

Details & FAQ

Teams
Teams are comprised of 4-6 Scouts, ideally from the same patrol. If you want to create a team by combining patrols that’s fine too, as long as that’s ok with your SPL.

Safety & Getting Around
Teams navigate the city on foot or using public transportation. Each team is accompanied by two registered adults for safety. Adults do not assist Scouts with transportation or challenges.

Challenge Stations
There will be several challenge check points set up around the city. Some challenges require Scoutcraft skills, some reveal hidden secrets of the city, some are just for fun. All require teamwork. Stations are supervised by adult leaders and OA volunteers.

Where & When to Meet
Details will be sent to participants closer to the date.

Adult Volunteers
Registered adults are encouraged to sign up to help chaperone teams.
