Description

Scout Snooker is an activity, which should take about an hour to run. It is an example of dressing up the usual scouting activities in a new and interesting form.
The challenges listed are only examples, feel free to add your own.
The challenge has been designed to allow the youngest Scouts to do the easiest challenges and the oldest to the hardest challenges.
