Mall Scavenger Hunt

Our Pathfinder and Guide units have both done the photo scavenger hunt and they love it. We split them into groups of 4 and give them a camera and film. They than have an hour and half to go around and take pictures. The Guides earned their photographer badge and I'm sure there is a challenge for the Pathfinders.This is the scavenger hunt we use at West Ed, but you can make you're own for your local mall.

This has been a favorite, yet very inexpensive outing. The girls normally bring money for supper and we eat after our scavenger hunt.
