Instructions
Start the activity by dividing the Scouts into smaller groups if you aren't already divided into patrols. During this activity each group will create their own culture which will guide them. Each group should start by deciding which rules the group should observe in their own small culture. The rules can be anything the group comesup with, but here's some suggestions:
- A way of walking (backwards, jumping, on one leg)
- A way of talking (skipping a letter, another language, backwards)
- A way to greet people (shaking hands, running around them, bowing)
- A way to make decisions (voting, one ruler, oldest decides)
- A game to play
- A song to sing
- A colour to wear Every rule is possible, only the creativity of the group is limiting. Once each group have created their own culture it's time for the cultures to meet, preferably without the help of any leaders. The groups need to strictly follow their own rules. After the groups start to understand each other, they can try to merge their cultures and create a different culture, and once again doing it by following their own rules.
