Capture the Patrol Flag!?!?!?!?!

In addition to capturing the flag, we also had capture the totem for JLT. We had a scrub brush for the service patrol and a stuffed animal for the program patrol. Hijinks all around. One patrol got very creative: they lashed a cage to place the animal in saying how they captured this wild and crazy animal from trying to ekill their patrol members while it was ona rampage.

 

Now the tent dropping remided me of an incident at a scout camp in the UK. Two of our service crew members hooked up during their stay. Camp warden (ranger), found them in one of the tents and dropped it on them.

For the original posting: It appears that someone suddenly found themselves with easy access to a souvenir. Unfortunately, there are many who feel that no one will miss a small souvenir. May be that they had the same patrol in their unit and took the "easy" route to getting a flag. If the leaders of all the units were made aware, then they could be on the lookout for it. The flag probably made it to someones' room and is hanging on the wall.

At an OA Conclave, banners over the road disappeared during the night. Apparently, a souvenir for someone.

 

As to Capture the Flag - time honored game that is most of the time played on fields, in the woods, etc. Some can be very creative in the capture. Have seen it played at Summer Camp, with everyones' knowledge. Also, at camporees. Worst case was at an OA Conclave where it got so intense that the banners for at least one Lodge got torn. That stopped it for then and later gatherings.
