Un-Natural Scavenger Hunt
Many thanks to Donna McIntyre for posting this idea to the WAGGGS-L Mailing List!
Ahead of time, leader/adult places items on the hiking path that DO NOT belong to nature. Items such as a small sponge, bottle of glue, coat hanger, plastic soda bottle, etc... that not only Do Not belong but are considered litter. Girls/Patrols then have one person with a piece of paper & pencil to keep track of the items. They then begin their hike searching for these items and keeping track of them again with a set time limit. You could also give them a rough idea as to how many items their searching for such as "There are at least 30 items that do not belong". Kids love this game!!
HINT: Challenge the girls a little by placing items that would make them "think" about what is part of nature and what isn't!!!
