Instructions (Estimated Total Time: 20–25 minutes):

1. Step 1: Prepare to Share (3–4 minutes)
   • Scouts review their idea, drawing, or prototype. They can write or sketch notes about what they’ll share.
2. Step 2: Present with Confidence (10–12 minutes total)
   • One scout at a time presents their idea to the group.
   • They describe what it is, what it does, and who it helps.
   • After each presentation, the group gives a round of applause.
3. Step 3: Give Friendly Feedback (5–6 minutes)
   • The group shares one thing they like, one thing they’re curious about, and one idea to make the invention even better.
   • Scouts can use the Getting Feedback handout to write down suggestions.
4. Step 4: Quick Reflection (2–3 minutes)
   • Scouts decide on one change they could make to improve their idea.
   • If there’s time, they draw or describe that change on paper.
