>> Here << is a form that is in addition to the packet that was previously sent. >> This << waiver needs to be completed for each young man, in addition to the other forms that were sent. If you have a scout who is injured and will not be able to participate in Colter's Run, but who wants to participate in MMR, please keep in mind that these scouts can participate in the Mountain Man Costume Contest. Also, our Cannon Master has asked for volunteers to assist with the "Cannoneering" at MMR, so please let me know if you have this situation and a young man who wants to participate.
Please note that this year we will be factoring your participation in the Dutch Oven Cook-off and the Mountain Man Costume Contest into the final score or time that it takes each team/crew to run the course. Here's how participation will factor in:
Dutch Oven Cooking will be judged on:
- Presentation (5 points max)
- Creativity (5 points max)
- Taste (10 points max)
- For a total of 20 points maximum.
Mountain Man Costume Contest will be scored or judged using the following criteria; Each participant must make a reasonable effort to reflect dress/costuming of the mountain man of the 1800's. Each participant must have at least three (3) articles of mountain man regalia, equipment/tools, dress or costuming reflective of the 1800's mountain man to qualify.
- First place will have 1.5 minutes deducted from his team/crew Colter's Run time
- Second place will have 1 minute deducted
- Third place will have 45 seconds deducted
- Team participation deduction: Each team/crew that participates will have 30 seconds deducted from their Colter's Run time (in order to get the team participation deduction, at least 1/2 of the registered members of a team/crew must participate with the minimum qualifying criteria listed above). Note that only one mountain man costume contest deduction per team /crew will be allowed.
Here is a photograph of a mountain man to help give you an idea of what types of costume or regalia can be used:
Both the Dutch Oven Cook-off and the Mountain Man Costume Contest will be judged at the discretion of those that have been selected to judge each of these events.
