Plan
- How will you score your game? (e.g. number of items found within a time limit, fastest person to find all the items)
- What items will your participants have to find?
- How will you make this challenging and fun for everyone?
Do
- As a Section Leadership Team, compile a list of objects for the scavenger hunt; these should be things that everyone will have in their house. Keep it general with things like “something red”, “something that you love”, or “a kitchen utensil”.
- Challenge your Section to find everything within a time limit, or race to see who is fastest.
- At the end, have everyone present what they collected.
Review
- What worked well in this activity? What did not work as well?
- If you were to run another scavenger hunt, what would you change?
- If someone else were running their own scavenger hunt, what tips would you share with them?

Remember to submit your activities on our Scouts for Sustainability Take Action Map
Keep it Simple
- Use the list that we created (see additional resources) for your scavenger hunt! Adapt the list as much or as little as you would like!
Take it Further
- Run an online scavenger hunt. Have broad categories like “share a website where you can learn new skills” or “find a funny cat gif”. You could also pose questions and have people find the answers, like “What is the tallest tower in the world?”.
