AWARDS 1 st Place through 3 rd Place Family Jeopardy Feuding Scouts Competition will be based on patrols of 5. Competition will be based on the gameshows Jeopardy and Family Feud. It will be a hybrid of both games and will be based loosely on Scouting and Scouting history. First place will receive a trophy, 2 nd and 3 rd place will receive a certificate. There will be 3 podiums and each team will man a podium. Each podium will have a bell and whoever rings the bell the quickest will answer first. If the question is answered correctly, then that patrol will control the board. Questions answered correctly will add up in points and the team with the most points wins. If the team answers incorrectly, they lose control of the board. When this happens, trhe individual standing at the front of the podium will then move to the back of the line in their patrol. Full explanation of the rules will be given the day of the event. 1 st Place Klondike Sled Race Competition will be based on patrols of 5. 4 patrol members will propel the sled, while 1 patrol member will ride.
