| Abstract scavenger hunt My Senior Branches Unit is doing this hunt for the Pathfinders in the Division at camp. It should be neat with how they interperate the things they have to find. Uniform can be OUR uniform we wear or something that is uniform like a fence .... It has already been suggested to me that happiness can be the smile on a McDonald's bag. This is an abstract scavenger hunt. If you have never been involved in this kind of hunt before, let us explain the idea. The items on the list for this hunt are not specific items which can be easily located. You will not find license plates, or hubcaps, or other mundane, boring things like that. Instead, we have given you abstract things to find, and it is up to you, and your imaginative team mates to come up with items that best fit the description you have. Scoring will be done as follows: Points will be awarded for the number of items found from the list, the amount of time in which the hunt was completed, and most importantly, the majority of the teams points will come from creativity of interpretation of the list items! So good luck, and good hunting. You must find: Team Spirit True Love The Great Canadian Dream The Meaning of Life Happiness Wealth Beauty Style Rhythm Intelligence Wisdom Grace Laughter Seasons Uniform Scavenger hunt / wide game This is another "camp" scavenger hunt idea This would be good for 2 units to do at a camp. The Rangers in my unit thought this one up! They are just so creative, when they want to be. Split into teams of 8 to 10 people. Item#1- Go into the woods and every girl must find one stick and one stick only. It can be any size as long as each girl only brings back one stick. Then find the ranger/leader wearing the blue colored bandana at the campfire pit. She will give you your next activity. Item #2- Now find a roll of duct tape and scissors from one of the groups of which you belong to. Take the scissors and duct tape to the Ranger wearing the white bandana at the campfire pit. There you will receive your the next activity. Recite one of the Sing Ontario Sing songs for your level that you have learned. (Here the rangers/ leaders will cut the duct tape at arms length and they will only get that amount of duct tape to use) Item#3- Now you have all the items that you will need to build a recreation of the CN tower. Your group will only be able to use the sticks that you have collected and the duct tape that you have been given. You can use as much string as you would like. The goal is to create the largest construction of the CN tower possible. ****These are the restrictions- **** -Each person can only have one job (eg. You can't be a talker and the scissors holder at the same time) -Only 5 people can talk -Only one person can touch the duct tape -Two people are in control of the string -One person is in control of the scissors -The rest are in control of the sticks BUT they can only use one hand each.
