This year’s Baloo Competition was held in Buskett. A course was set around Buskett using Tracking Signs. 5 Check points were also planned to test various sessions from the arrows.

Cubs arrived at Buskett at around 0900hrs. They formed their sixes and a brief explanation of what was expected was given. Then six after six with a 10 mins interval between them, the cubs set off for this adventure around Buskett. Each six had to draw the tracking signs encountered along the way, and at each check point a set of questions or hands-on were asked according to level of Arrows.

Check Point 1: Knotting
Check Point 2: Scouting History
Check Point 3: Mapping & Orienteering
Check Point 4: Environment
Check Point 5: First Aid

The day ended at around 1300hrs. All were happy with the event…and everyone is waiting for the results for the Best Six Trophy.
