Desert Island Scavenger Hunt

Thanks to Bridget Johnson of Garden Grove, CA, who sent me this game!

This scavenger was designed for a sleepover with a Deserted Island theme, and requires the cooperation of a number of parents from the unit which live in the neighbourhood. Each patrol is escorted by an adult as the girls go door to door scavenging for the items listed below (in riddles):

All ye who find the things below, will be foot steps away from Golden Bread's Treasure of 'morrow morn!

1. Having a little bent metal, Golden Beard holds his maps together with one of these?
2. Sometimes using collared wax helps you mark your way on a map, what am I?
3. If Golden Beard was in the business world today he would give one of these to you with his name on it?
4. It has six sides, it's white and you use it sweeten your tea, what is it?
5. A partner with a needle, the colour of the sun and Golden Beard uses it to mend his pants with it?
6. After a night of heavy seas and harsh brandy, I need one of these to stop the pounding in my head? (Make sure you get one inside a plastic container that zips shut.)
7. I'm out searching for a hiding place for my treasure, I take pictures of the spot. When I am done with my film I need this to store it in?
8. Last year a Lady traveled on my ship, and she used a funny piece of board to make her nails short. What was it?
9. A hat for the top of a pencil, and takes care of my mistakes. What am I?
10. Collect 6 different leaves along the way!
11. This is round, comes in red, yellow or blue, and can be stretched from here to there. What is it?
12. I seal this with a lick and send it on it's way. What is it?
13. While searching for my forgotten treasure, I skinned my knee. I needed a band not one that would play for me, but one that would aid me in my time of need?

Good luck to all those who dare to solve and find Golden Beard's riddles! Then I asked the patrols this at the bottom of the page/starred: When you've reached the end of the list go to address of a neighbour and ask for a paper bag with the treasure inside!

Inside each bag are seashells and a candle wick individually in plastic Ziploc bag for the number of girls in that patrol. Once everyone has all the items on the list, and their bags of treasure, everyone heads off to an appropriate location with a sandbox. Use the materials gathered to make seashell candles!
