Boy scout activities

For our Troops lock-in this year, we wanted to do something different. Escape rooms have been popping up in our area so the idea of making one around Boy Scouts started to form. For ones who do not know what an escape room is, it is an interactive adventure game in which players solve a series of puzzles using clues, hints and strategy to complete the objective of the game within a set time limit.
