Rainy Day Activities: Jeopardy

You should always have a few activities inside of the troop room in case the weather doesn't allow for you to go outside, or if things just don't go as planned. We at Troop Quotes want to give you some ideas on how you can keep all the scouts entertained, while doing things worth while. Here is one idea that you can use.

Jeopardy

All you need for this game is either a computer program to make the "virtual jeopardy." But what if you don't have this?? It's simple... get a white board/chalk board, and make up some trivia cards for each category, and follow these rules:

1. Split into two teams.
2. Flip a coin to see who goes first. 
3. Let the first person of the team answer the question for the amount of points the question is worth. If the member doesn't know it, the team can help him for half of the questions point-value.
4. If the entire team gets the question wrong, the opposing team can answer the question for full worth.
5. Move on to first person of next team, repeat steps 3 & 4. (Note: if the other team steals the question, they still get their turn.)
6. Remember to move to each player. Each player can answer once until everyone has answered.

Activities: Patrol Cook-off

Ever looking for ideas for something to do during the meeting/campout?? Well, why not have a little fun with a patrol competition. A patrol cook-off would be a really fun thing to do, both for the scouts and the adults. And this one has a twist Here's what to do:

Here's what you'll need:
1) Set up two or more stations (depending on how many teams there are) with

• Camp Stove
• Pan
• Knives
• Plates
• Pot
• Ingredients
• Choose anything you deem neccassary to make a good meal.
• Any thing else you can thing of.

Here's the twist:

You will give them a mystery box with 4-6 ingredients, very eccentric, that HAVE to be used in the meal. They have to make a meal with the entree and a side. They only have 20 minutes to make it. And the SPL, ASPL, and SM are the judges.

How to Make a Survival Bracelet

In an emergency, you can use paracord for lashings, tourniquets, shoelaces, snares, tying splints, or, if you tease out the threads, even fishing lines and sewing threads. This bracelet lets you carry a useful amount at all times.
