What may have seemed like a far-fetched concept to Scouts 50 years ago is a serious passion of many Scouts today. We’re talking gaming and esports!
That’s why the BSA has teamed up with Rally Cry to bring Scouts a tournament series this fall. While this isn’t the first time Scouting and gaming have struck a harmony (we’re thinking of the Game Design merit badge and last fall’s Rocket League tournament featured in Scout Life), this is the first time we’re hosting a tournament series.
The idea? Between Rocket League, Madden 23 and Smash Ultimate, Scouts will find a video game (or three) that draws their interest to the competition and the $100 Scout Shop gift cards that are up for grabs.
Here’s what you need to know about the BSA’s Fall Esports Tournament Series
Throughout October, Scouts can join in on the fun by competing in one of two age groups: 8-12 and 13-17. Each leg of the tournament is a single-day competition and offers a $100 Scout Shop gift card to a winner in each age bracket.
Check in for each competition begins at 2 p.m. ET. Game play starts promptly at 3 p.m. ET.
