TREE LORE
Circle Ten Council
Twenty leaves (or pictures of
leaves) of local trees are placed on a table. Either form small groups or
have Scouts work on identifying the leaves individually as they arrive. The
group or person with the most correct answers wins. This could, also, be
adapted to use as a game during the meeting.

Great Salt Lake Council
Have
garbage bags available for people as they come. Have them pick up the area
around the building or meeting place. Have treats/prizes for the people who
pick up the most. This could also go toward earning the conservation patches.
