The goal of this game is to transport the radioactive “isotope” to a safe disposal site without spilling it. Each scout holds a single rope, with no ropes being shared by more than one person. Working together they maneuver the rubber band around the container, pick it up, and transport the container to the disposal area.
If your group finds this task too easy, experiment with different limitations on the task.
- Allow only one scout to speak, with everyone else being quiet.
- Allow no scouts to speak, with only non-verbal communication allowed.
- Try to complete the task in a faster manner than before.
- Blindfold all but one member of the patrol.
- Task the group with transferring the isotope from one container to another by tipping the container.
