Congratulations to the 25 senior Scouts that participated in this last weekends
Immortals Mission profile.
Headquartered at the Ryan Duff shelters at Mattituck Scout Camp, the scouts were divided into five teams of four scouts and given a package of information and allowed to make plans Friday night. At 7:00 am on Saturday morning the teams were off to accomplish a list of tasks that would earn them points or "dollars" to win the event.
Some of the tasks included, building a hidden shelter, finding points on a compass course, building a raft and crossing a section of a very cold lake, making a fire without matches, making a camp chair, baking an apple pie, making a rope bridge to cross a ravine and finally playing a camp-wide night-time capture the flag game. It was a long day.
Each team received a dozen eggs that could be used for protection from other teams, barter for trade, dinner or dollars toward the final goal.
On top of this "Taliban Mullahs", senior scouts Mike V., Lee, Keegan, Carter and ASM Max, were roving experts that could be bought for an egg or two to help a team complete an assignment.
It was by far the hardest and most complex game we have played and the Scouts all played it well. Kudos to the winning team of Mike Ryan, Nicholas Carabillo, Zack Zikovich and Jon Epstein and to Lee Adamovich for running away with the Top Mullah award.
