2 - After you have exhausted all of the answers that are mostly likely to be physical make the following statement; "I am not interested in physical contrasts but want to know wether everyone think there are other differences."
3 - Get the scouts to stand up and highlight areas of the hall, you will need four areas, labeled as; Boys, Girls, Undecided, Equal. Then ask the questions, keeping a tally chart of responses;
