International disaster relief charity ShelterBox is calling on Scouts to be prepared to go the extra mile and make sure the charity’s Big Green Box Week ends with a bang. On Saturday 19th June, the ShelterBox Scavenger Hunt will be taking place in Edinburgh and will see hundreds of Scouts navigate their way through the city by decoding a series of clues, armed with the charity’s iconic, big green boxes. The ShelterBoxes are usually found in disaster zones around the world. Each box typically contains a 10-person disaster relief tent, blankets, kitchen sets, a stove, water purification and storage equipment, basic tools, a children’s activity back and other vital items. ShelterBox has been partnered with The Scout Association since 2009 and the ShelterBox Scavenger Hunt promises to be a fantastic opportunity for Scouts to learn more about disaster relief as well as having a great day out. James Webb, ShelterBox Scout Coordinator, said: "The ShelterBox Scavenger Hunt will be a great adventure for Scouts. They’ll be put under some challenging demands carrying an empty ShelterBox and using their navigation skills to trek across Edinburgh. I hope many Scouts will take up the opportunity and put their skills to the test." The start and finish will be from a central location which will remain a mystery until nearer the date and there will be a selection of fantastic prizes for the winning teams. Each team should be made up of a Scout Leader and three to five Cubs, Scouts or Explorers.
