Instructions

The Scouts either chose or are given a topic about which they should investigate
They should use their knowledge to discuss the subject within their patrols so as to form their collective opinion on the subject.
A fixed length of time should be provided (suggest 45 minutes) for them to investigate and discuss the issue - use of the internet may be beneficial, or any written materials may be provided as suitable for the topic.

Once the time has elapsed, each patrol should be given a maximum of 5 minutes to present their findings back to the rest of the troop.
One or more individuals should be nominated to report back to the rest of the troop
