Instructions
Introduce the concept of SWOT analysis by explaining the four categories: Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. Provide examples to illustrate each category. Divide the Scouts into groups (if the number is large). Assign each group a set of ide as from the brainstorming session. In their groups, they should conduct a SWOT analysis for each idea on a separate sheet using sticky notes. Encourage them to discuss and fill out the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats for each idea.
Presentation of SWOT Analysis: Have each group present the results of their SWOT analysis to the whole class. Discuss the findings and any insights that emerged from the analysis.
Decision-Making: Discuss the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of each idea with the whole class. As a group, evaluate which idea appears to have the most potential based on the SWOT analysis.
