FRIENDSHIP DISTRICT JERSEY SHORE COUNCIL - BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA Attn: All Friendship & Northern Star District Cubmasters and Pack Leaders January 1, 2013 Enclosed you will find all of the necessary paperwork for this year s Captain Citta s Pirate Quest. Our Packs will run various stations throughout camp, Since this year is Pirates at Citta please try and make it around a Pirate theme and challenge them with something they should have learned in scouting for there rank and have fun. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO. I thought this year I would try a HOT LUNCH which is included with each scout entry. Adults have the option of purchasing lunch. There are three (3) pages that should be given to each of your Scouts. The first two are event information for each family; the third is an Individual Registration Form which must be filled out by each Scout and the required gear list. You will also find a Patrol Roster Form to list the Scouts for each Den/Patrol, and a Camp Citta Roster. You MUST fill all of these forms out once you have collected the Individual Registration Forms from your Scouts. You, and your Leaders, will be registering your Scouts in patrols of 6-10 Scouts and listing them on the Roster Form - Scouts should be listed/grouped by Den or rank. If you have less than six Scouts participating in the event, we will combine them with another small patrol to form a patrol of 6-10 Scouts. Please make sure all of your contact information on your registration is correct so we can inform you in advance who you will be paired with. This will allow you and the Patrol you are paired with to contact each other in advance and be better prepared for the event. Make additional copies of this form as necessary. This information is required for our safety. If something happens at Camp we need a list of everyone in camp. You will then fill in the Pack Registration Form indicating the number of Scouts attending, the number of other people attending, the number of additional patches desired, the number for lunch option; and then complete the Total Fee calculations. You have to turn in the Pack Registration Form, the Pack Roster Form(s) and all of the Individual Registration Forms TOGETHER. All forms must be turned in at Council by Thursday 1/31/13 along with payment. All Scouts that participate will receive a commemorative patch. Additional patches can be ordered for Leaders / Adults at $3.00 per patch. The patches will be ordered after the event is complete so that we can order the proper number of patches. Please feel free to call Jim Pasterak 609-618-2577 or email cubscoutpack539leh@gmail.com Thanks in advance for your cooperation and anticipated participation, Happy New Year
Pirate Quest Where: Joseph A. Citta Scout Reservation When: Saturday Febuary 9, 2013 Registration: 10:00am Parade field 2013 Event Information: Objectives: To provide Cub Scouts of all ranks an opportunity to work together as a team (or patrol) of 6-10 scouts, to test their skills and teamwork at levels appropriate to their Cub Scout rank at a fun and competitive event. This event is much like a Klondike Derby except that all levels of Cub Scouts are allowed to participate; and activities/events are rank specific. Equipment: All Scouts will work within the Den, or an assigned group with members of the same rank, as a Patrol. They will race the Pirate Ship that they have already built only if the rider has a helmet. They will be judged on their design and have an opportunity to win ribbons based on their design in comparison to the other ships entered at their rank. Bring some type of wagon to the event to haul their gear and it can be decorated in the Pirate theme. The boys will be given a list of their required gear that will be needed throughout the event. They may carry more equipment, but nothing beyond the required list will be necessary nor will it score them additional points. Schedule of Events: (events subject to change as needed) Saturday: 10:00: Registration begins 10:40: Opening Ceremonies 11:00: Start Events 12:30-1:30 Lunch 3:00: Pirate ship race 3:30:Closing Ceremony The Event: The event will be made up of several stations, otherwise known as Pirate Coves. At each Cove, the Scouts will approach the Captain of the Cove introduce themselves, and ask about any task that the Captain may have for them. The Captain will ask the Patrol to perform certain task based on their rank. Upon completion of the task, the Captain will award the Patrol points based on their Scout Spirit, Teamwork, and Enthusiasm. The task will be based on items from various Cub Scout Rank Handbooks-using both achievements and electives that they have worked on this year. An educational handout will be given to all the Packs. All of the participating Scouts should review this handout before the event. In addition, they should have at least 1 copy in their handout during the event. They will be asked questions throughout the day on their knowledge of the material in the handout and earn additional points. This will make the event not only fun, but educational as well. Registration forms must be turned in before Thursday 1/31/2013 to Council.
Main Event: The Patrols will go to all of the Pirate Coves, we want them to have a fun and each Pack will have a Pirate theme task for them to do. Once they have done this task as requested by the Captain of the Cove they will be given a golden coin. These coins can be traded in at the Captain Citta s galley which will be opened after lunch. While they travel the high seas of Camp Citta they will see ships along the way and these ships will have questions on them for each rank. Patrols will work together to come up with the answer and write it down on the treasurer map this map is to be turned in after lunch. The Patrols with the most points at each rank will be awarded 1 st Place, the Patrol with the next highest points in each rank will be awarded 2 nd Place and the patrol with the third highest points in each rank will be awarded 3 rd Place. Ribbons will be awarded to the top three Patrols at each rank for 1 st (the most points), 2 nd & 3 rd. Ships: A panel of adults will judge each Pirate Ship entered into the Pirate Quest for design, originality and workmanship. While adults may assist the boys in building their Ship, this year we also require that each Den/Patrol submit photo s of the Scouts building their ship in hope that the boys will have provided the majority of the workmanship. Ribbons will be awarded to the top three Patrols at each rank for 1 st (the most points), 2 nd & 3 rd. The Den #/ Patrol name, their rank and their Pack number MUST be shown on each Ship. Penalties: This is a Cub Scout event. The boys are being tested on the knowledge that they have accumulated over the year. While adults are permitted to follow the group of boys, THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO ASSIST THEM IN ANY RESPECT. This means NO communication with the boys once they have entered the Pirate Cove. If adults are found to be interfering with the boy s performance the Patrol will be penalized points at that Station. Volunteers: Each participating Pack is required to list one adult volunteer on their registration form to serve on the event staff for the entire day. Volunteers should arrive before 10am to be briefed on their duties. We may ask for additional volunteers during the event- one per Patrol. Please have them meet meet me at the Parade field Patches/Ribbons: All participating Scouts will receive a commemorative patch/ Adults may order addition patches. Please list the number of extra patches on the Individual Registration Form. All participating Pack will receive a ribbon for their Pack Flags as well. Parking & Carpooling: Please make every effort to carpool to Citta. As always, parking will be at a premium so please park your cars close to each other and directly in front of the parking curbs provided by the camp.

Captain Citta s Pirate Quest Required Gear List You will need the items listed below for your rank to put into your Wagon/Ship Don't forget anything! You may need some of these items to do your task at each Cove. If you are missing an item or items, you will lose points. All Ranks 1 Rank Book for your rank. 1 U.S. Flag (approx. 3 x 5 house flag) 1 Pirate flag (made by the den) 1- First Aid Kit 1 clipboard (to hold the map) Photographs of your den building your pirate ship Paper (Several sheets) 1 -Measuring Tape (10 or more) 2 -Kitchen garbage bags 1 -Copy of the handout 1 Rope (¼" x 60 min.) for each Scout 1 Pencil or Pen for each Scout 1 Poncho/Rain Gear for each Scout 1 Water Bottle w/ water for each Scout 1 Drinking Mug for each Scout The most difficult part about an event like this is knowing what skills the boys will be tested on-for them and for you! The best thing for them to do at any station is to work together as a team. They will be receiving points based on their teamwork. They should always try to decide what to do as a team first, and then decide who should do it. Some of the stations will have all of the boys participating, and some will have only one, or a few of them participate. Explain the importance of teamwork to your Den before and during the event. Review common courtesy in addressing the Captain in the Cove, introducing their Den, and politely requesting Permission to enter camp, and asking Is there anything they can do for the Captain today?" And remember, when traveling from Cove to Cover, a good Scout song is always a great indicator that a great group of boys are getting close. As a Cubmaster, I would also advise you to review certain areas of your rank handbooks. Those areas of review might include Outdoor Skills and Knowledge, Citizenship, Craftsmen abilities, First Aid, Safety Concerns, and of course, Scouting knowledge and procedures. Look at the Required gear list with them and try to figure out what the boys might have to deal with. Review the Handout so they are familiar with the information. Review key issues and topics and hope for the best. After all, this isn't actually a test; as long as they having fun- that's all that matters! Best of luck to all of our boys!
