Interest Project Scavenger Hunt - with answers

This “Scavenger Hunt” was set up for you to find out just what you can earn from your Interest Project Book.  Find each phrase or sentence on the following pages in your IPP Book.  Write each Interest Project Patch title below each phrase or sentence along with the page number that you find these on. Also, add which category it belongs to, whether it is a Skill Builder, Technology, Service Project or Career Exploration.

At the end of this “Scavenger Hunt” you will find a page for you to fill out.  This page is to be shown to the advisors for future reference.  We would like to know if there are any IPP’s that we could earn as a troop.  We will try our best to do as many as possible.  In this case it is a majority rule. When you turn in your “Scavenger Hunt” and we record your choices you will earn a patch.
