Two Rivers District This Freeze-o-ree is a contest against a standard. In this case, the standard is the First Aid requirements of Boy Scouts of America. The event s purpose is to provide a learning experience which will further hands on testing of the scouts skill in the field of first aid and help strengthen those skills through immediate evaluation. Although this is a competition of a sort, the goal is that each and every participating Scout will come away from the event with more knowledge and understanding than he had before. Scenarios will be based on the current edition of the First Aid Merit Badge Book. General Information 1. Check-in: Plan to arrive on Friday, February 8th, during the hours of 4:00-8:00 PM at Canyon Park Canyon Lake TX. Vehicle parking is close to campsites, but some carrying of gear will be required.

DUE TO LIMITED PARKING SPACES PLEASE ASK MEMBERS OF YOU UNIT TO CAR POOL. 2.

Additional assignments will be made at the Friday evening cracker barrel. 23. Judging: There will be station judges at each station with pre-established scoring criteria. Additionally, there will be a site judges whose decision on all points of difference between the station judge and patrol will be final. The site judge will base all decisions upon the latest editions of the Boy Scout Handbook and the First Aid Merit Badge Book. 24. Buglers: Any Scouts who can play taps, reveille, call to colors, etc. on their bugles are encouraged to bring their bugles and check in with the Freeze-o-ree staff on Friday evening. 25. Order of the Arrow Gathering and Fellowship:. The Order of the Arrow plans to include a Brotherhood Ceremony for eligible Arrow men. After the Brotherhood Ceremony, the OA will host a cracker barrel for chapter members at Freeze-o-ree Headquarters. Two Rivers OA chapter will conduct unit OA election if coordinated in advance. All required paper work for the election must be on hand and accurate prior to an elections being conducted. 26. Schedule: During registration, each Patrol will be assigned a number and given a station schedule to follow throughout the day. At each station, the Patrol will be presented with a scenario that will require a complete demonstration of the appropriate first aid response. Patrols will be allowed a maximum of 20 minutes to demonstrate the necessary first aid for that scenario. Points will be awarded based on the completeness of the demonstration. 27. Patrol: The patrol will consist of a minimum of three scouts (the ideal patrol is 5-8), which is part of the troop s regular organization. The patrol leader is in charge at all times and will assign various responsibilities to the patrol members as they act on each problem. He speaks for the patrol at all times. 28. Scout Spirit: Show your colors! Each patrol should carry their flag with them and fly it proudly. Show your spirit! Scouts should use their patrol yell and cheer at every competition event. Note: A boy made flag and a patrol cheer can add substantially to your scores. BE PREPARED! 29. Uniform: The Scout Uniform is the official uniform for all Scouts & leaders
30. 100% Participation Award: Each patrol and each unit should strive to earn the 100% participation award at the Freeze-o-ree. For a patrol to earn this award, the patrol must compete in all patrol events (for its category of patrol) and enter a patrol flag in the flag contest. For a troop to earn the award every patrol in the unit must earn the award and the troop must participate in the campsite inspection. 31. Patrol Flag Contest: Each patrol is encouraged to enter its flag in a competition to find the best patrol flag at the Freeze-o-ree. Every patrol which enters a flag will receive a bonus in the Best Overall Patrol competition. Although every flag will receive a bonus, flags that are constructed entirely by Scouts will receive the largest bonus, and flags which have obviously been hastily prepared at camp will receive the smallest bonus. Along with the flag, the Patrol Leader must turn in an entry form. Flags must be presented by patrol at the judging station between 9:00am and 3:00pm 32. Explanation of Scoring for Patrol Competition: After the competition, each type of patrol at the Freeze-o-ree will be ranked, i.e., if 25 experienced Scout patrols are present, those patrols will be ranked 1st through 25th in each of the events. A patrol that does not compete in an event will be ranked five places lower than the last patrol s place in that event. The places will then be used as point values in determining places for the overall events. Thus, a patrol with the first, fourth, seventh, eight, tenth, thirteenth, and twenty-fourth places in the individual competitions would score 1+4+7+8+10+13+24= 67 points. Every patrol which enters a Scout-made flag in the patrol flag contest will have ten points subtracted from its score; patrols which enter flags not made by Scouts will have five points subtracted from their score. Thus, if the patrol above entered a Scout made flag, their final score would be 67 10= 57 points. The patrols will then be ranked based on the total scores. Note that in this scoring system, the lower the points, the better the score. In case of a tie for first, second, or third place in the overall patrol competition, the winning patrol will be the patrol with the most first place scores in the events. If still tied, the number of second places will be used, then third places, etc. until the tie is broken. The patrol which wins the tie-breaker will be given the place and the other patrol will be given the next lower place. 33. Best Overall Unit: (to be presented at round table)--the best overall unit award will be given to the best troop camping at the Freeze-o-ree, based on the results of the unit scores for (a) Patrol Events, (b) Campsite Inspection, (c.) Service Project participation, and (d.) Scout s Own Service participation. The best overall unit will be determined by averaging the rankings for each of the Patrol Events, Campsite Inspection, Service Project, and Scout s Own service with the following weights applied: Patrol ranking 40% Campsite inspection 30% Scout Own Service 20% Service Project 10% In case of a tie for first, second, and third place, the tie will be broken by the unit score in patrol events. If a tie remains, the average number of first places among all patrols in each unit, then by second places, etc., will break the tie.
34. Awards: Several awards will be given to designate the placing of patrols and troops in the competition along with an event patch. Best campsite Dutch Oven awards And more. 35. First Aid Merit Badge: Separate from the competition, individual Scouts are encouraged to work toward completion of the First Aid Merit Badge 36. CPR: There will be CPR instructors at the event to lead a training session prior to the announcement of awards and final closing. 37. Spectators: Adult leaders, nonparticipating Scouts, parents and friends of Scouting may follow their patrol from station to station as long as they do not interfere with the competition. Interference will disqualify unit from that station. 38. Freeze-o-ree Activities: Saturday will consist of inter-patrol competition events. Rules include: o Who competes? Only a troop s regularly organized patrols. Ringer patrols made up for just the Freeze-o-ree are not in keeping with good Scout Spirit. Troops are encouraged to have older Scouts act as Troop Guides or volunteer for staff. o Leadership: Instructions will be presented to the patrol leader at the beginning of each event. o Competition Areas: Separate areas will be laid out for each of the events. When first registering at the Freeze-o-ree, patrols will be assigned a starting station for Saturday s activities and circulate through the events until they have completed all event stations. 39. Skills and Knowledge required to be successful at Freeze-o-ree: As in past years, activity events will utilize Scouting skills, teamwork, and an emphasis on the Patrol method. We will have 12 First Aid Scenario Stations: In addition to the station judges, there will also be a victim at each station that will allow the scouts to demonstrate their first aid knowledge. This pre-assigned person will be aware of the symptoms that need to be communicated to the patrol. 40. Patrol Needs: First Aid Kit equipped according to the attached list.
41. Camp Departure: Freeze-o-ree check-out procedures will be provided at Friday s SPL/OA rep/unit Leader Meeting. Some units will be leaving on Saturday evening or at some other time before the official close of the Freeze-o-ree. Be sure that you inform James Ponder, Freeze-o-ree Chairman, before you depart. All units are expected to follow the same guidelines of leaving their site clean, taking out their trash, and checking out with the proper Freeze-o-ree Staff before departure. The Freeze-o-ree officially ends at the Final Freeze-o-ree Assembly on Sunday after the service project. All Units must be out of the Freeze-o-ree site by 12:30 p.m. Failure to comply with Freeze-oree rules and guidelines will disqualify troops from all competition. 42. Scouts Own A SCOUT IS REVERENT. We will have a non-denominational Scout s Own Service for all Scouts and Leaders on Sunday morning (See Schedule). All Chaplain s aides need to meet directly after the opening ceremony to get directions for participation in the Scouts Own Service. We request everyone to attend this function as no other activities will be planned or allowed during this time. NO VEHICLES WILL BE LOADED OR MOVED DURING THE SCOUT S OWN SERVICE.

The Patrol Flag Take a good look at a successful patrol, and what do you see? Its patrol flag always honored, jealously guarded, properly cared for. It goes wherever the fellows go, on every hike, every camping trip. It flies from the top of the cliff they scaled, from the bow of the lead canoe. It s their emblem, their calling card. Criteria for Judging There are 100 total points in the Patrol Flag Contest. Please review the criteria carefully. Judging standards and their consistency are important to the success of the contest and will ensure fairness in all levels of the patrol flag contest.
