Wood Badge SR-890 - THE PUZZLE!


Wood Badge SR-890 is now in the history books! It was a wonderful course filled with such wonderful and dedicated Scouters. More about the course later...I wanted to show you the puzzle which we presented to the Scoutmaster as a gift. What made this gift unusual was it was a scroll saw portrait of him but the pieces were trickled out to him in all sorts of creative ways over both weekends of the course.
Here is a picture of the portrait as it started out.









And here is the finished puzzle:









The pieces were hidden, hung from ceilings, put in film canisters and scavenger hunted with clues. Participants and staff all had pieces to present or hide. The final face piece was presented at the final summary session along with a another framed copy with the SR-890 council patch underneath. It was truly a fun time and a unique gift. A final pic here of the Scoutmaster, Boyd Darling, trying to assemble the pieses:
