KNIGHT MOVES

 



What is Knight Moves?

Knight Moves is a multi-Section Scout activity organised and hosted by Brisbane North Region run in Term 3 of the scouting year. Now in it's 14th year, it has beocme a cult classic amoungst participants with it's heavily themed backstories, costumes, quirky activites and plenty of fun thrown in. We believe the interaction between the sections will encourage our Scouts and Venturer Scouts to move up to their next relevant section and inspire Rovers to become Adult Leaders and take ownership of the event.

Purpose:

The main purpose of Knight Moves is to engage Scouts in a nighttime activity that challenges their navigation and hiking skills.

Activity Format:


The activity involves teams completing a nighttime course on Saturday and a daytime assessment course to ensure teams have the necessary skills to safely navigate their way around the nighttime course. Teams set up camp prior to departing on the nighttime activity. The activity ends on Sunday morning the after final parade.

Each year Knight Moves hosts a different theme. Patrols are encouraged to name and dress in accordance with the theme to promote fun and comraiderie and to bring a ready sense of humour. 

Past themes have invovled:

Ninja Knights
Knights of the Cosmos
Outback Knights

Venturer Scouts: are encouraged to join a select team of Venturers to run the daytime assessment session. Venturers are also invited to participate as Patrols in the night-time navigation course. 

HOW TO GET YOUR VENTURER INVOLVED

Registration opens in May / June each year. Venturers are invited by the organising committee to run an assessment centre to assess the ability of the scouts to provide appropiate measure to ensure safety of each patrol during the night time navigation exercise. Venturer Leaders will provide information leading up to event.
