I am REALLY excited to share something I've been working on for awhile now... a Scout-themed mystery hike! It combines elements from Urban Adventure Quests, the Clue board game, and the Encyclopedia Brown mysteries I loved as a kid (affiliate links). It's called 'The Case of the Missing Scoutmaster'. While it takes place in Fairfield, California and stars Scouts from Troop 482, everyone is welcome to play along. If you live close enough to do the hike in person, click here for the instructions for this 2.5 mile urban hike. If you're not local, click here to solve the mystery by using Google Maps. Enjoy! --------- For more Scout resources, including crafts, games, and other ideas, click the image below.
