 Learning how to
make a bedroll can be great fun if you do it with games like "guess what's
missing from this bedroll". (Lay out sample bedroll and personal
gear; remove one item and see if girls can guess what is needed but not
there.)
What does or
does not go in a first aid kit? Put the necessary first aid items in
a pile with non-first-aid-kit things and let the girls sort them into
"yes" or "no" boxes.
Have a sleeping
bag rolling relay - each team member runs up to a rolled (but not tied)
sleeping bag, unrolls it, crawls inside and crawls out again, rolls the
bag up, then runs to tag the next player.
Learn a new song to take along
with you. (Senior scouts are a great help in this department.)
Look on a map to see where you
are and where you are going.
The artists in the troop can
help produce a colorful kaper chart.
Everybody helps
choose the menu! Going shopping with an adult to buy the food is fun
too.
Practice using kitchen utensils
by preparing troop meeting refreshments with them - peeling carrots for
carrot sticks, etc.
