Plan this in DenBuddy Customize or modify

Planning it in DenBuddy starts a new den meeting with this activity already on the agenda, so you can add an opening, a closing and whatever else the night needs.

How to run it

Set a 15-minute timer on a park or meeting-place perimeter. Weigh or count the bags. Close by

asking who benefits from what they just did.

Safety. Gloves mandatory. No sharps, no glass — flag a leader. Hand sanitizer after.
