The Battle of Olympus is an Olympic inspired team building event which your Scouts, Girl guides or cadets are sure to love. This is one of our favourite scout camp activities which we offer as it really gets everyone into the competition.

This challenge is sent from the Olympian gods on mount Olympus and will test your skil, strength, speed and teamwork. The battle of Olympus is a scout camp activity which embodies the values and spirit of competition on which the Olympic games is based.

Each team taking part in the Battle of Olympus represents an Olympic nation. If enough time is available, they will be given arts and crafts to design their countries flag or banner. There will be a life sized homemade Olympic torch which the teams will parade around when showing off their banner.

The teams will then take part in a warm up and then onto a number of games and activities. The activities included are usually inspired by Olympic events but we can tailor the activities to suit your group.

Not all of the games will always be run at once and some teams will have the opportunity to have a rest between games. Each team has a joker with an Olympic athlete from their country on it which can only be used once. When this card is used tat team will earn double points for that event.

Points will be awarded on the games throughout the event, with all the teams coming together for either an Assault Course or Hurdles Finale.  The team that collects the most points will be crowned the winners and will win the Gold Medals at the awards ceremony  where there whole team will stand tall on the podium after having their medals & winning Olympic trophy being presented to them from the event manager on the day or a person of your choice. 2nd place & 3rd place will also be awarded silver & bronze medals and all three teams will get to stand on the podium to finish the event off with a great photo.
