Clan Competitions
To better participate in the Clan competitions each Scout should carry with them the following items: water bottle, compass, neckerchief, pen or pencil, Totin' Chip, Fireman Chit, Scout handbook, towel and any other items they feel would help in competitions. And don't forget "Clan Spirit".
1 - Possum Hunt
Items needed by Clan: None
The object of the game is to throw a spear and knock a "Possum" out of a "tree".
The "Possum" (2 litter plastic bottles) will be suspended in string in a hulla hoop. Each clan member will have three tries at the Possums. Total points earned by each clan will be divided by the number of members in the clan to arrive at the score. Clan members must move the Possum in the tree to score a point.

Scoring: Average Hit & Clan spirit.
4 - Jumbo Janga
Items needed by Clan: None
The object of the game is to stack logs as high as possible by your Clan. When your Clan has finished a measurement will be taken to determine the height from the ground to the top of the main trunk of the top log. If you knock over the stack or it falls before a measurement can be taken - the measurement will be taken on what remains. Each log will be about 3 feet in length (+/- on foot). Nothing may be used to hold the logs in place.
Scoring: Height, Safety, & Clan Spirit
5 - Bridge Over Troubled Waters Crossing
Items needed by Clan: None
The object of Water Cross is to retrieve as much water from a rain barrel as possible while crossing a log or wooden plank bridge without letting go of the cup or falling off the bridge. All members of the Clan must remain on the bridge at all times. Points will be deducted for those who step off, or fall off the bridge. Cups may not be passed from one Clan member to the next , nor can water be poured from one empty cup to another. This is a test of teamwork and agility. Clan members must travel two ways on this bridge at the same time in order to fill their cups and return to empty them. This is a timed event. The most water retrieved, after deducting points for stepping or falling off the bridge, wins.
Scoring: Time, Leadership, & Clan Spirit
