OBE Results are in…
Operation Bald Eagle made a welcome return to the Scouting calendar in October and 340 Scouts competed in 61 teams for the coveted trophy.
Participants and volunteers had a fantastic weekend in cold, but clear conditions, and it was evident that everyone was doing their best and enjoying themselves after a 2-year break during the pandemic.
The winning Patrol is the one that gains the most points across all three parts of the competition – The Friday Night Challenge, Day Challenge (30 bases) and finally the OBE Night Hike (16 bases on a 7-mile hike in and around the Rhydd Covert area). Points are earned for good teamwork as well as for successfully completing the challenges.
So here’s what you want to know:
Winning team 2022 – The Cam Conquerors
1st Cam Conquerors (1st Cam) with 1921 points
