The Troop Council: Different Types


Resource Type

Different Types Cue Cards.








Troop Council

Set up a table and chairs, find a pad to take minutes and elect a chair-person. Follow the agenda given to you as a Troop Council - have the minutes ready at the end of the meeting. You have 30 minutes.

Troop Council

Find a space somewhere to have your Troop Council. You should decide where the next Winter camp should be held, who should be the next PL of wombats and invent a new game to play next week. You have 30 minutes.

Compass Trail

Split into two groups - each group set a compass or trail signs course for the other half to follow. You have 30 minutes.

Helping Skip

For the next 30 minutes, help the Scout Leader with some tasks that need to be done.

Team Challenge

Find a long skipping rope and practice until the whole team can skip, all together, 10 times without stopping. You have just 25 minutes to practice before you have to demonstrate to the group. If you are really good, then how creative can you be? Learn a trick or two to impress the others.
