Interest Project Scavenger Hunt

This “Scavenger Hunt” was set up for you to find out just what you can earn from your Interest Project Book.  Find each phrase or sentence on the following pages in your IP Book using only the #1’s under each category.  Every IP is in this “Scavenger Hunt”.  Write each Interest Project title below each phrase or sentence along with the page number that you find it on. Also, add which category it belongs to, whether it is a Skill Builder, Technology, Service Project or Career Exploration. 

At the end of this “Scavenger Hunt” you will find a page for you to fill out.  This page is to be shown to the advisors for future reference.  We would like to know if there are any IP’s that we could earn as a troop.  We will try our best to do as many as possible.  In this case, it will be a unanimous vote.  In order to do an IP as a troop
everyone will have had to vote for it to be done
. When you turn in your “Scavenger Hunt” and we record your choices you will earn a patch.
