House Cup Rules and Points System

By

Magical World of Eswau Huppeday – House Cup Rules and Points System

There are four Houses. Each chapter belongs to a House:
Gryffindor: Oconaluftee
Hufflepuff: Allowelendam and Heartland
Ravenclaw: Apatschin Tschitani and Tsungani
Slytherin: Battleground, Lowaneu Wachtschu, and Nv ya o sa ni

Houses earn points during the year based on on the Points System below and the House with the most points at the end of the year will be awarded the House Cup at Winter Banquet.

Most House points will be earned by individual brothers of behalf of their Chapter/House. In order for a brother to earn any House Points, they must be current on their 2018 lodge dues.

House points will be tracked based on quantifiable data, mostly from the LodgeMaster database, although a few require other verification as noted below in the Points System.

The only House Points not earned by individuals will be those earned at Webelos Woods for skits and those awarded as part of the Triwizard Tournaments that will be held at the Spring and Fall Fellowships. Houses will compete against each other in a series of challenges and in the end points will be awarded to each House based on their overall finish.

That’s right – this year we’re having registration for Beaver Day. After a record attendance last year, the lodge decided to try and get an accurate head count in order to be prepared on both the food we serve and the number of work projects we can take on.

So, this year the lodge is providing breakfast and lunch on Saturday for a small fee of $5.00 if you register at least a week in advance. You can register online now at piedmontcouncilbsa.org/beaverday2018

We’re offering this as a great camping opportunity to all troops in the council. For $5.00 you get breakfast, lunch, and a patch on Saturday – and you can camp both Friday and Saturday nights if you wish.

The Dixie Registration Fee of $46.00 is due by January 19th to lock in your spot and to make sure you get all of the lodge Dixie items. Registrations will be excepted after the deadline for as long as the host lodge will except them, but do not expect to get all of the lodge items.

The $46.00 Dixie fee includes a delegate patch, participation pin, lodge delegate t-shirt, and a lodge Dixie delegate flap all designed in our awesome spirit theme of The Magical World of Eswau Huppeday! A BSA health (part A & B) form is required and must be sent with your registration form. Again – registrations received after January 19th may not include all lodge items.
