Supporting Tools
This badge is awarded for exploring and testing a variety of supporting tools that are essential for enhancing the organization, navigation, and tracking of youth activities. These tools are designed to help you plan, manage, and execute activities with greater ease and effectiveness.
Supporting tools refer to digital applications that assist with navigation, organization, tracking, and communication during youth activities. These tools provide practical solutions for guiding participants, managing real-time progress, and helping teams stay organized during events. Here’s what each tool can do:
Google Maps: Used for navigation, directions, and location tracking. Ideal for guiding participants to activity stations or helping teams navigate through outdoor locations during a scavenger hunt.
Waze: A navigation app that provides real-time traffic information. Useful for planning travel routes to and from activity locations or ensuring participants can easily find the venue.
What3Words: This app divides the world into 3m x 3m squares and assigns a unique combination of three words to each square. Perfect for pinpointing exact locations in outdoor activities, helping participants find hidden stations or treasure hunt spots.
Keepthescore: A tool for tracking scores during competitions or activities. Great for organizing competitive games or challenges and displaying real-time rankings to keep participants engaged.
My GPS Coordinates: This app provides GPS coordinates for any location. Ideal for outdoor activities where precise locations or waypoints are needed to guide participants or mark activity stations.
QR Code Monkey: A tool for creating and scanning QR codes. Perfect for generating digital clues, tracking progress, or providing quick access to activity instructions or resources via QR codes.
These tools support the logistics of youth activities, making it easier to navigate locations, monitor progress, communicate, and keep track of scores or other important data.
This badge encourages to explore the practical applications of these supporting tools, which are fundamental in organizing and optimizing youth activities. Understanding how to use these tools effectively can help to create more organized, interactive, and efficient experiences for participants.
