Can-Am Bucks Event Cards
Event Cards
Each pack will be given an event card. Make sure they have the sub camp name and lairs name printed on the front of the card. Only the lairs leader should carry the card during the day’s events.
Each event is numbered and is worth 2, 5, or 10 points. 2 points for showing up at the event, 5 points would be punched for a slight effort with no teamwork. 2 + 5 points would be punched for a group effort involving most of the lair. The max amount of points awarded would be 10 and it would be for an honest effort involving the entire lair working as a team.
Only the event personnel are to punch on the event cards. Please hand in your card to your Sub Camp Chief by 5:00p.m. on Saturday.
At The Action
At the end of the day the points are added up on each card by the sub camp chiefs and the total is recorded on the reverse side for the total bidding bucks available to the lair. lair leaders will then bid at the auction for the whole lair, to obtain the bagged items available.
Auction Articles
Pack leaders are encouraged to participate in the fun by simply bringing an item or two to the cuboree. If you have brought items to add to the auction turn them into the Sub Camp Chief before the auction. All extra auction items will be much appreciated.
