Education Possible!

I love how serious and mysterious they look!!!

Our Mission possible activity passed off Faith in God for Girls, Preparing for young women: Education is important and also make a family proclamation list.

Purpose: Complete the mission by following clues to a document that explains how to protect the family (Family Proclamation). Education & Knowledge help us be better capable to serve and help others. Each of the girls were educated with a skill (expert card) before the activity to help them solve the clues. Knowledge blesses us and others.

#1 The Flyer

The girls each received a manila envelope marked "Top Secret" a couple days before the activity. Inclosed was the letter above, a lanyard with their secret agent ID (below), their one "expert" card to review before the activity with any supplies and a sticker mustache. I had 11 girls attend.

 Below: The culinary expert was my daughter. She made a sushi roll out of candy.

Below is the medical experts paper to help them solve a mystery during the activity.

 Below: the Globel Studies Expert got all the "map" pictures later in the post.

 Below is the parent information letter I handed to the adults.

 Below: the child care expert had lots of younger siblings.

 The painter below was given a watercolor set to use. You just write the message in white crayon. The girl can paint it with watercolor to see the message. I just wrote, "You are awesome. See you soon!" on this practice one.

 Below: Maps

 Below: Art Expert
Our art expert is paired in all the activity clues with another girl because she has disabilities and required help.

The "Mission Folder" the day of the activity that I gave the girls. I had one girl not show up so her expert card was left in the manila envelope for all the girls to use when needed.

 A little setting the stage.

 The actual activity and clues to find the proclamation on the family document. Any reference to "Agent 99" is me. I just sat at a table in the hall with another leader and watched the girls run around.

#8 is the "painter's" clue. She used her watercolors to paint and read the message I left. I just said "A math teacher saw something. He is helping the drama club today. Go question him. (the next clue was on the stage) #8 was hidden in a balloon since #7 directed them to find something that popped.

Above: The family Proclamation at the end of the clues.

 Below: The scriptures are for the spiritual thought following solving all the clues. They are the scriptures listed in the Faith in God: YW portion.

#12 was with the Family Proclamation. The girls did the list together. I had other copies of the proclamation and  had the parts that referenced what they could do to protect the family highlighted to make it easier since I have ages 8-11. 

When they brought me the list and document we reviewed the scriptures and how knowledge helped them solve the mystery. If they didn't have the knowledge they could be restricted in helping others.

The Mission Impossible Activity

Notice how all the clues are things the boys learned how to do before the activity in their "Top Secret" pre-activity packet! An example of clue #2 is below.

is the site I used to make my own scratch off for #6. It worked great!

 The pre-clue was the picture of the bird for activity #10. I wrote small next to the bird "house". So they had to look in the "birdhouse" for the next clue.

The dynamite and explosives that the scouts have to recover.

***We did this for Family Home Evening too. I just changed the scout stuff to "the family is under attack" and we were searching for the clues to protect the family. We used "The Family: A Proclamation to the World.

 Agent Registration and check point. We fingerprinted here and checked ID and passports.

 The enemy attacked and the scouts had to shoot all the villains before recovering a clue at the scene. One of the bears was the "sketch artist" and had drawn a picture before the activity of a "witnesses" description of the bad guy. We used that sketch to identify which villain. The clue was hidden behind Captain Hook, who was our bad guy.

The Super Sleuths!

Mission Impossible!

 Passports & Instructions! For the pre-activity packet.

*** We did this for FHE too. I just changed it to "the family is under attack...recover items essential in preventing the demise of the family." The director was changed to "Director of Eternal Families". We used the clues in the other scout mission impossible activities and geared them towards families. We used "The Family: A Proclamation to the World" as our "essential items" we needed to find. We all had so much fun.

Mission Impossible!

I am excited about this activity! I will post more as I put it together.

This is the pre-activity packet for each boy. It prepares them for the activity and gives them a skill to learn. Included: sticker mustache, ID card on lanyard, passport, mission assignment letter and skill to learn letter.

We are working on Bear and Wolf cub scout requirements and electives. The boys are each receiving a "top secret" packet a week before this activity to learn their skills before scouts. (The skills are things to learn in the scout handbook) Then the day of the activity the clues will be the same codes that the boys learn/ reviewed earlier. Man, that sounds confusing! 

 For example: The boys who must learn fingerprinting will get the ink and finger cards in their packets to practice before the activity. At the activity they will help finger print all the boys.
 Another will be a clue written in american sign language and the boy who had that assignment will help the others decipher the clue at the activity.

Their adorable ID cards.

These are some additional key codes we used that are not in the scout book.
