Saturday morning at S.W.C., patrols go head-to-head in a rotation of five high-energy, team-based games. They’re designed to test your Scouting skills, communication, problem-solving, coordination, and creativity—but most of all, they’re meant to bring your patrol together through shared challenges and plenty of laughs.
Not repeats. Each year, the SWC games staff designs 5 all-new games for the event. We encourage participants to take these games back to their Units and let their Scouts enjoy something new and engaging!
These aren’t your average “trust falls and trivia” kind of games. Think more like:
Saturday morning, following the assembly. Patrol leaders will receive game rotation schedules.
Each patrol will rotate through five different games, spending ~25 minutes at each station
A train whistle marks the start and end of each game. Game Staff helps keep patrols on schedule.
Games are judged based on performance, teamwork, and (in true SWC fashion) spirit.
Scouting is about growth through challenge, and the games are where that growth happens—in between the slip-ups, the breakthroughs, and the surprise victories.
Your performance in the games counts toward the Honor Patrol Award. Win or lose, your patrol will walk away stronger, closer, and with a few stories to retell every January.
