Some of ye can pitch tents, some of ye can camp and cook. We’ve even heard a few of ye can stick gadgets together and hike. But which of ye are stark raving barking mad?
We are looking for the
Maddest Scout Troop
in the Waterford Scout County and you’ll have to prove it…
How: We want to see what team puts their whole mind body and soul into the County Challenge Weekend which is taking place from the 13th to the 15th of April 2007 at Rathgormack in County Waterford. We want to see too who can put on the best campfire sketch and song? Who can prepare the best video log? Who has the strangest mascot? Who can dyno the best? Whose team name is the weirdest? Whose choice in music is really off the planet?
Why bother? The lads at Altitude in Ballybricken in Waterford City will give a Vango Hydra 200 to the troop of the winning team as well as individual prizes for each team member.

There are no terms and conditions. No excuses - Just be there (everybody) and prove it.
