(previously Doc Shield)
I put together the Doc Trophy competition for my springbok camp. It was a fun challenge and was great to see it come together. I hope to see it continue in future and develop into a greater competition for the district.
Here’s what Julia had to say:
A million bases. A million STAs. Praying you remember the six basic knots. Stress. Pressure. This describes the typical scout competition. This doesn’t describe DOC Shield. DOC was a learning competition where we were tested and built on our basic scout skills. The vibes were there between the patrols, and the eyes were on our patrol for time traveling back to 2020. We obviously were the best patrol with the best costumes (and no I’m not biased). The bases were good fun and the juniors learnt how to do some campsite pioneering. Overall a great concept for a competition and really well executed by the staff (and of course Tim).
