23 February 2007, all of a sudden the still evening silence is cut in half by scouts running in all directions doing death defying stunts and collecting numbered golf balls. The aim of the evening is to determine which patrol could do the most stunts/activities in a set space of time. Stunts were chosen by picking a numbered golf ball out of the bucket thus leaving a lot to chance. Fate it seemed smiled kindly on the Puma Patrol of 1st Athol! Thank you to Gerbil for a well organised event. 
Thank you to the remainder of the scouters for co-ordinating the bases.One of the highlights of the evening was the shocker where patrols tested their combined motor-co ordination with often hilarious results. Glenhurst waxed this stunt as the term "No brain - no pain" was proved once again. Unfortunately some of the more mentally challenging stunts left them fumbling around in the dark.

It truly was a great IPC this year with no single patrol running off with the trophy again from the offset. It was good to see some stiff competition by everyone. I am glad on two fronts: 1) The district is growing 2) the district is getting stronger. Both of which we need.
Thanks must go out to Vic and Morningside for organsing the event. Despite having a few loose wires lying around, it was well run and thought out. The ideas should definately be utilised again.
The pilot idea of the lotto for stunts was a good one.
The general consensus was that running back to HQ to get a new stunt was extremely tiring. I don't know about you guys but I sure as hell liked it. Gets them buggered quicker.
I think that Vic is onto a winning formula, now we need to weigh up the pros and cons so we can make next years event even better.
Had other troops from outside Northerns joined us I think it would have been a real eye opener!
To all the scouters - Keep up the Great work!

I think maybe that we must try to revise the date for this one too.
A tad too close to KonTiki, kind of messed things up in terms of organising that. Also with dates worked around those, more troops from outside are bound to come.
