Introduction
Family Workout – We have a lot of family groups so we will need to be spread out. Each of you will be my site Q for this so please make sure your phone is charged or someone in your group has a phone to take pictures.
Meet on the backside of Rotary Hill in the big field
I will have 8 routes with 4 destinations each rotating the groups in order to maintain distance as much as possible.
Warm-O-Rama
I warmed up the families with some tried and true exercises.
Side Straddle Hops x 20
Bat Wings x 10 (FW, BW-palms up, seal clap, overhead clap)
Tappy Taps x 10
The Thang
SCAVENGER HUNT
Each family had 4 destinations. I created 8 different routes with 8 different destinations in order to keep everyone Covid conscious. Here are the 8 different locations around Rotary Hill and the corresponding clues, actions and exercises. The idea is that each family would follow the clue to the destination and create a memory during the exercise. By making each man the Site Q of their family, they would hopefully create timeless memories.

I can’t remember how many we did as I was worried about Namearama.
Circle of Trust
My COT emphasized that I hope everyone had fun and created beautiful memories in what has been a weird year. I told everyone to cherish those memories. Hold them tight, be good to one another and God bless.
Naked Man Moleskin
Considering the numbers, I was nervous at first. But as I stretched my legs, hips and back while families and HIMs began to arrive, I concluded that my planning was solid, the space was plenty and it was all going to go more or less to the vision I had in my head. It was safe and fun. I have to give some of the credit to Goldberg for giving me the initial idea of a scavenger hunt as I believe Nacho Libre (the original Q) was going to go that route.
