The Knepper's European Adventures!: The Girl Scout Challenge

Every year, the Heidelberg Girl Scouts put on a "Girl Scout Challenge". It's a fun event that is attended by local girl scouts of all ages. This year, the theme was "The Amazing Race". Stations were set up all over the post. The girls were split into teams consisting of a mix of girls from Daisys up to Cadets. All teams started at the same station. As soon as they completed the task at that station, they received a clue that would help guide them to the next station and task. There were 20 stations and the event took about 4 hours to complete. Greg and I each manned a station. The girls had a blast, but it was one loooong afternoon!

The weather was cold and dreary. Somehow Greg managed to score the best station... the one located inside the Java cafe!! He got to sit indoors, drink unlimited coffee and watch TV! He was at station #7 and Taryn's team was the first team to arrive. Greg's station was a trivia question... "Where and when was the first girl scout meeting held and who was the leader"? Taryn's team was gone within minutes.

Second team to arrive was Leena's team. They whipped out the answer in seconds!

Taryn helps her team out on the most time consuming station. Pieces of a puzzle were hidden inside the play equipment. Each team had to send one team member at a time into the equipment to find a zip lock bag that contained a sticker that matched their team color and contained 10 puzzle pieces. They had to do this 10 times in order to find 10 bags containing 100 puzzle pieces. After which, they had to assemble the puzzle!
