What a great place to go with the scouts.  We have a number of activities to participate in and methods of completing  requirements for scout badges. 

Get Lost in the cornfield maze and complete the requirements to earn an official Maize Patch. The Maize patch is earned by maneuvering through the maze using only the girl scout, boy scout, or cub scout passport.  
     
What is a passport?  A passport is a list of ten multiple choice questions about a specific subject or theme.  Each multiple choice answer has a direction (i.e., turn left, turn right, turn around then left, etc.) following it. The questions are numbered 1 thru 10.  Each question corresponds to a numbered "passport post" (a fence post) that is found within the maze.   When you come to post #1, for example, you read question #1.  You then choose the answer you believe is correct.  If it is correct, then you are given the correct direction to turn which is the shortest route to the next post.  If you choose the wrong answer, you may be sent the wrong way or the right way.

Maize Patch price: $1
