19.2.3 SPACE CONSTRUCTION

GAME PARTS - 16 cardboard boxes all the same size, 6 large coffee
cans, 3 thin strips of plywood, 2 poles with nails thru the ends,
several smaller dowels, tape measure.

The object is to build as tall a tower as possible with the material
supplied. The tower must be free-standing and self-supporting, and
stay up for at least 1 minute. DO NOT LET THE CREW DAMAGE OR MODIFY
THE SUPPLIED MATERIALS! Measure the tower to the nearest inch. The
crew can try several different configurations.

***WARNING! Wind and uneven terrain can dramatically affect this game.
Try to locate it in a sheltered area with fairly even ground. It could
also be done inside if the room has a tall ceiling.

19.2.4 SPACE EXPLORATION

GAMES PARTS - individually wrapped candy in different colours,
coloured tape or marker cones to mark off the search area.

Game leader will hide 10 candies of the same colour in search area,
plus 1 of a different colour. Cubs need to search the area to find all
'samples'. After they are turned in and counted, they may each have 1
to keep. The coloured candy counts as 3 points, all others are 1
point. Be alert to 'missed' candies from previous groups.
