Code of Conduct or Creed Scavenger Hunt
What does it mean to be a Frontier Girl or Quest member? The answer lies in the Frontier Girls creed or the Quest code of conduct. In this activity members of your troop or club will learn more about the behavior expected of them as well as get a chance to meet the adults who help with your group. This activity is also a good introduction to the Fruit of the Spirit Award.
Purpose: Meet adults involved in your group, practice manners, learn creed or code of conduct, and work together.
Supplies:
- Objects/pictures of objects mentioned
- Bag for each participant to keep their objects in
- 9 adults or stations to find and explore
- Adult/station prepared with objects, creed piece, and explanation
- Plan, map, or clues to get them to each adult/station
Basic idea:
Divide members into small groups and have them travel from adult/station to adult/station. At each station, they must:
- Correctly meet and greet the adult, introducing themselves
- Ask politely what the adult can teach them about being a Frontier Girl or Quest member
- Complete a challenge if requested by the adult (sing a song, introduce each other, fit in 1 tile on the floor, etc. – silly, team building, fun)
- Listen politely to the explanation of the object and the part of the creed/code of conduct
- Respond politely when they receive their object/picture and place it in their bag
- Repeat for all 9 stations
