Life Auction

(based on 16th Edware Scouts article from Scouting magazine June/July 2011 p.8-11)

This programme certainly gets your Troop thinking about what’s really important in life.

  2. Ability to make friends easily
  3. A good sense of humour
  4. A vivid imagination
  5. A supportive family
  6. Leadership skills
  7. Good looks
  8. A healthy body
  9. Musical talent
  10. Courage
  11. Fame
  12. Strong faith
  13. A good education
  14. Wealth
  15. A job you enjoy
  16. Organisational skills
  17. The ability to dance
  18. Artistic ability
  19. Power
  20. Multi-lingual
  21. Good with technology
  22. A loving relationship
  23. Sporting talent

If you were running this activity it would make sense to make some kind of spreadsheet to automatically calculate what funds each scout has left after winning a bid.
