District Quiz 2004

The District Quiz took place on Saturday 6 March at Earleywood camp site in South Ascot.

To enter the quiz you need to have a team of 3 comprising one 8 year old, a 9 year old and a 10 year old. This year we were only allowed to enter one team per pack.

Stags Stuart Allen (10*),Fraser Woods (9), Cameron Shields (8)
Wolves Oliver Viney (10), Harry Littlehales (9*), Luke Bartholomew (8)

* Stuart is actually 9 but answered the harder age 10 questions. Similarly, Harry is 8 but answered the age 9 questions.

The quiz was in two parts. The questions rounds included sections on Scouting, mental arithmetic, English language, English literature and geography. Then there were the practical rounds which included identifying road signs, dingbats, driving radio controlled cars around a course, nature pictures and a game of “Go Bananas”. Once all the teams had completed all the rounds the scores were added together.

Scores at this point were as follows, with the top 2 teams (coloured yellow) going forward to the final:
