Items Needed:

• Paper or notebook
• Pens or pencils

Instructions:

1. Start with a Problem: The leader gives a fun example, like a dog afraid to walk on slippery floors.
   • Example solutions: rugs, dog booties, textured flooring.
2. Propose Solutions: Scouts take turns suggesting ideas to solve the problem.
3. Introduce Challenges: The leader presents issues with each solution.
   • Example: “What if the booties fall off?” or “What if the rugs slip?”
4. Work Around It: Scouts brainstorm ways to fix the problem (e.g., “Use Velcro to keep the booties on” or “Add non-slip pads under the rugs”).
5. Move On If Needed: If they can’t fix the problem, they move to another idea.
6. Reflect Together: Discuss how they worked through challenges to find the best solutions.
