GUIDE CHALLENGE

As a patrol you have one hour to do as many of the challenges as you like.  You do not all have to join in each challenge, but nobody should be left on their own.

Your objective is to earn as much money as possible.  You start with $5.  (A big counter is $5, a small one is $1).

The equipment for each challenge costs $1, and if you complete it to the satisfaction of the section moderator, you will earn between $2 and $5 (after each challenge it says in brackets how much you can earn).  You may only repeat a challenge with permission from the moderator – you will not earn money twice for doing the same thing again.
