Description

Tent pitching as a teamwork challenge.

Please note that not all of the badge credits will be appropriate for your session, it depends on the emphasis you choose to put on each aspect of the challenge.

Resources

Materials: deck of playing cards, hike tent, a supply of blindfolds
Optional: Setup for sharing a video of the 'perfect' way to pitch the exact model of tent you are looking to pitch.
Optional: Ability to record the process and review/analyse it afterwards

Instructions

Put up a hike tent, working as a team, with some randomly-assigned hindrances

– Method: Shuffle a normal 52 playing card pack.

Each Scout takes a card from the pack which denotes which ability restriction they will have:
* Clubs = not able to use their legs
* Spades = not able to use their arms
* Hearts = not able to speak
* Diamonds = not able to see

While sticking to the ability restirctions they each have, each patrol is instructed to pitch the tent, working together and helping one another.

Leaders to offer support and monitor for frustrations, risk of damage to tents if Scouts being silly.

Try to make time for debrief/lessons learned at the end.
