From the Girl Scouts

You deserve a medal for this!

This is my 3rd Patrol Challenge. Each time it has been a completely different experience.  Greatest experience for the Crew, and even the parents learned a bit more on how to be better parents!  Great for children to learn how to solve problems and work as a team. Super!

The Patrol Challenge is by far the most exciting activity my daughter has done while in Girl Scouts. 

She has discovered places that opened her mind to history and her surroundings.  She learns so many new things.  The best part of it all is that she gets to share these special moments with her Girl Scout sisters.  Thanks Paul and Jack for the way in which you have enriched our daughter’s lives.

From the Boy Scouts

The Scout Patrol Challenge was a wonderful experience.

I learned to be able to talk with people. I didn’t think I could have this much fun in 1 weekend.

WOW!!! Best time ever. 

I had the opportunity to have been a part of 2 Patrol Challenges and had experiences that can never be repeated.  Would I do it all over again...?  YES YES YES!

Even More Stories!

We all enjoy the clues and sharing our experiences with others. 

We enjoyed laughing as our Troop Leader attempted to row 30 feet on a water bottle raft built by me and my Troop. 

Lucy – Cadette Girl Scout
Sherlock Holmies Patrol
GS Troop 7802 – North River SU

Our girls have never done anything that required them to work together WITHOUT leader assistance for an entire weekend.

Could this even be true?  I brought it up to the Cadettes and they were all over it!!  At 5pm Friday they stood anxiously beside the printer waiting for the packet of clues.  Upon review they were excited, overwhelmed and nervous.  There was massive panic in the room and suddenly everyone started yelling out what items they had or what photo locations they knew about.  We were off to the races.  Sunday came too quickly and the girls have already started to talk about next year… strategies, clues, points… See you next year!!

We really like the Patrol Challenge, it has been a great experience.  We have worked as a team.  We have bonded in a special way.  We have seen and visited places that were very fun and interesting.  We have done many cool things.  We have laughed a lot.  We have been challenged.  We have gone out of our comfort zone.  Our experience has been great.

Sophia – Junior Girl Scout
Royal Dancers Patrol
Troop 4006 – Mission Valley SU

I believe that this adventure proved to be one to remember. It proved that we could work as a team even in the early morning hours. I know that we all had fun decoding the clues and finding oddball places. I am sure that we will come back next year, thanks for putting it on.

There are some things that you do that stick with you for the rest of your life.  The 2006 Patrol Challenge was one of these things.  Through this event I have had the opportunity to work with my patrol, do new things and meet new people.  The clue that was the most fun for me was eating an ostrich burger at Charlie Brown’s. This was a very fun event that I intend to participate in next year.
