2. Split into Patrols or Teams

Law 2 clue: Attending every week is an example of this
Law 3 clue: Smiling and thinking of others in what you do

Law 5 clue: In difficult situations you would need this
Law 6 clue: You might not get long to use something, how you do matters
Law 7 clue: How you look after yourself and what you think of others actions or words

5. Build out activity if a Patrol(s) complete quicker than expected is to think of at least one example for each law of something they have done recently that would demonstrate keeping each Scout law.

A Scout is to be trusted.
A Scout is loyal.
A Scout is friendly and considerate.
A Scout belongs to the world-wide family of Scouts.
