Medicine Man Scavenger Hunt
Here's another great idea submitted by Wendy Baker, who wrote:
"I found this Scavenger Hunt which my fellow Guider Kim Walker made up some years ago for my Pathfinders. I have since used it for Guides as well..."
Chief Whatchamis had a plan to get his warriors to work
together and live harmoniously. He called his Medicine Man to develop a potion
and then sent his men in patrols to gather their ingredients as follows: 1
1/2 cups of fresh water Mix in: 6 pieces of moss from beside a large tree 3 dandelion leaves some milkweed 2 clovers 5 blades of
grass 1 wild violet leaf 10 pine or spruce needles 1 piece
of spider web a small bit of bark (not taken off a tree) a maple
key a feather
When all these things are collected, you return to home base with all of the above and the potion has to be stirred ten times with the feather. The Warriors (patrol) then each puts out one foot and the potion is poured over the feet that they may walk harmoniously through the paths of life. This may be repeated to bind several Warriors to one another if wished.
