5: Fort building: Also known as try not to die night is when one or two members of a troop build one or more shelters which will be graded on a scale of 1 to 5 and if a scout does not sleep in the building that’s 1- point for his/her troop and the troop which the most points win. The shelter must be taken down by 6 p.m. Saturday.
