| This Activity is meant for Boy Scouts. Decide for yourself if it is appropriate for your younger scouts or not. | |
| Required: | a bucket (bomb disposal unit). a tin can (bomb) with 4 dots painted on it or 4 short ropes tied to it. |
| Preparation: | Place the bomb disposal unit about 30 feet or so away from the bomb. |
| Notes: | Players will need to problem solve and figure out how to get two players to hold onto the bomb and not touch the ground so the bomb can be moved. |
| A mad bomber has placed a bomb by the flag pole and your team is the bomb squad called in to dispose of it. The bomb has 5 triggers:
If the bomb is lifted from the ground, it will explode. If the 4 side triggers are held all at the same time, then the bomb can be safely lifted. If someone holds a trigger and touches the ground, the bomb will short out and explode. Your bomb squad must deposit the bomb safely inside the bomb disposal unit so it can be detonated. | |
