History:

Cohen Cup dates back to 1938 – the first, run as a cooking competition for Scout Section. Cohen Cup has evolved over time to accommodate all sections.

Although the competition has evolved, the essence remains the same – allowing youth members to test out their bushcraft, pioneering and camping skills.

2024 Competition:

This year we have chosen to add a component for those leaders/helpers of Patrols in the Advance Competition to be able to participate in the Camping and Pioneering component.

Participants can attend in one of the following categories:

•  Joey Scouts: Rookie Competition with Adult Support.
•  Cub Scouts: Rookie Competition with Adult Support
•  Scouts: Rookie Competition with Adult Support or Advanced competition with no Adult support.
•  Venturer Scouts: Advanced competition with no Adult support.
•  Rover Scouts: Advanced competition with no Adult support
•  Adult Leaders/Helpers: Advanced competition with sites used as displays for youth members.

Patrols can be made up of mixed sections, however the oldest youth member in the team will determine which category you will be judged in. (e.g. if a patrol is made up of Cubs and Scouts, that patrol will compete in the Scout section).
