From Robert Hope,
10 companies across Green’s division took part in this year’s challenge, which is now becoming a popular annual event. Described as a “high-energy scavenger hunt crossed with hide-and-seek,” this immersive experience challenges various companies within Green's Division to outsmart one another.
As General Green reminded everyone: “The aim of the exercise is to get the division working together to solve cryptic clues and explore hidden corners around army camp, before the next battle - believed to somewhere in Pennsylvania”.

As expected, the boys from Mississippi and “hazzard county” won the Fire Hazard’s challenge on demonstrating risks associated with camp fires and smoke. Building on experienced gained in previous years, they had no injuries this time.
Unfortunately this was not the case with the “Fire at Will exercise”.
Literally, everyone fired at stammering private Will.
Poor private Will. Formerly from Briunswick he is now recovering. He has also been instructed to attend further southern speech & language therapy sessions.

The scavenger hunt was once again a big success. The ultimate goal was, without being noticed, to bring back the most identical items used by general within two hours. Whilst most teams focused upon bring back maps, well done, first prize went to those boys in Pickton’s brigade who brought back 19 pillows destined for General Clayton who then went on record as saying: “shortages, what shortages!”.
Finally, the DIY craft challenge, the new memory foam pillows were the big winner. For those teams with new recruits, as soon as they laid down on them, they started to remember all the things that they had “messed up” on during the previous day !
