Well, the Royal Ranger program that I am in (just like Boy Scouts but the Bible is more involved) has a "Ranger of the Year" competition every year. First the competition begins at the outpost level, the two winners then move on to the conference level. After the conference competition, the two winners from that then finally move up to the national competition.

The contest for each level consists of:

A 150 question test

An oral interview with a pannel of 3 judges

Strict uniform inspection

And the following skills tests:

Firecraft

Lashing

Rope craft

Bible

First-Aid skills

CPR

Tool-craft

I won the outpost competition this year, placed 2nd in the conference, and last night, I won the national competition. I also won the national compettion last year. :D :D I won't be competing any longer though, I am aging out at the end of this year. :(

 
congratulations! Impressive - when I saw lashing as a skill tested, I did a double take. Lol,

BTW just saw your reply on youtube. Just thought it was cool that we know each other on different parts of the internet. :)
