We have a traveling gavel but do it a little different. It usually starts with the new GMs home lodge. It takes four (I think) visitors from another lodge to claim it from them. It is supposed to encourage folks to visit other lodges.

We do it based on numbers of brothers showing up for degree work at the lodge where the gavel is residing. If the hometown team outnumbers the grand total of brothers from any one lodge they retain it. If a lodge brings the most members to do work at the lodge holding they take it home, as well as a contribution to the childrens home in the name of the lodge "winning" it. Everyone wins. The childrens home wins, extra brothers at the work night for the lodge holding the gavel, the team taking it home wins bragging rights. Fun for all!
