We will also be having our Troop 33 Gift Exchange Game:
Scouts that want to participate in this are to bring a wrapped
gift. You will be given a number after you deposit your gift.
Once all the gifts have been deposited you will exchange
your number for a drawing number which will determine the
order in which you get to play. When it is your turn you are
free to either choose an unopened gift from the pile or take
the opened gift from anyone that has opened a gift before
you. Anyone that has had 3 gifts taken from them can no
longer be taken from a fourth time. All gifts are to cost no
more than $10. Gifts from the pile cannot be handled before
choosing!
Adults / Leaders that want to participate will follow the same
rules as the Scouts. The Adults game will be played first and
serve as a demonstration in good and fair play!!
