20. More specifics on competition: For Scout - The underwater mission includes two challenges, a shallow water and deep water mission. Each challenge relates to that year’s theme. For example one year the theme was Underwater Rescue – so the deep water mission consisted of delivering emergency supplies to a submarine in trouble. Every year is different. For Ranger – There is one deep water mission that consists of many tasks. Students must use a camera to navigate (no looking in the pool). Students typically are required to develop other sensors (temperature, sound, metal…etc) depending on the task and theme.
