Description

This activity has been amended to run indoors from https://www.scouts.org.uk/activities/go-on-a-cash-traps-trail/

This activity aims to help young people explore real-life situations where they may be pressured or tricked into making unsafe choices around money - particularly being used as a money mule. They'll learn to recognise red flags (warning signs), understand how emotions can affect decision-making, and build confidence in knowing what to do and who to talk to if something doesn’t feel right.

They will discuss to solve different real-life situations that young people can experience involving money.
