Description

Explore a local convenience store to check which products are suitable for various dietary requirements. The aim is to get the Scouts to think about what's in their food.

Resources

Local store, bigger than a newsagent but smaller than a huge supermarket is ideal. The local Super-Save type places are best - a lower chance of losing your scouts and you get to promote local businesses too.

You may want to check that your local store has all the products listed on the sheet and make some changes if need be.

Also check with the store in advance that it's OK for you to visit.

You should ensure that your leaders have done their research, there will be plenty of questions from the Scouts.

Instructions

Each patrol will need a copy of the attached sheet, before you leave explain the various requirements and have them add two of their own products and fill in the "Prediction" column.

Head off to the store pens in hand. Give the patrols enough time to fill in the Actual column.

After enough time, head back to the Hut and discuss the results.
