2018 venture vermont: create your own outdoor scavenger hunt

often i do not have the audience for whom to create a scavenger hunt.

but this summer since i was working at the Scout Camp, when we needed one for a friday all-camp activity,  i was ALL OVER that puppy.

the challenge was making it hard enough to be fun, but easy enough so that the littlest of our girls could succeed. philosophically, Girl Scouts are more about discovery and cooperation than we are about competition against each other, so our goal was to have every group be able to complete the hunt.

here's my scoresheet:

Scavenger Hunt

Basic (everybody)

Something rough
Two brown things
Something squishy
Something that crinkles

A pine cone
A toothed leaf
A round rock
Two different kinds of leaves
A white flower
Birch bark (found on the ground!)

Three pieces of litter
A piece of tinder

Somebody left handed
Two people born in the same month
Somebody who has been a counselor at a different camp
Somebody who can make a stop cut

Everyone on your team standing on one foot at the same time

Advanced (older girls)

Two different kinds of pine cone
A stick with beetle markings
A compound leaf
Two plants that are edible
A feather
An orange flower

Somebody who has fired a cannon
Somebody who has been to europe
A gold award scout
Somebody who can make a V cut

Everyone on your team jumps off the ground at the same time.

I love a scavenger hunt. I may need to go back to scouts. :-)
