In Progress
Several organizations and companies, including groups as diverse as the Army and Burger King, have successfully developed console based games as a tool for marketing their products and experiences. This could range from moral and character based rpgs, such as Knights of the Old Republic and Fallout 3, to simple mini arcade games, such as Sneak King and Mario Cart.
A Boy Scout based RPG could be time period based, like survival based off information in the original handbook. There could also be a Boy Scout simulator game, like Rollercoaster Tycoon, where players could design and operate their own high adventure camps.
Cub Scout based mini arcade games could include driving a pinewood derby car. There could be a series of games covering all the types of derbies, like space, and rain gutter. Wouldn’t it be fun to try to steer your pinewood car with a Wii controller and see the track whizzing by as if you were in the car?
These games could be used in multiple ways, from distributing for free, to selling for a minimal cost in shops and/or at recruitments. This could even be a prize for Scouts who recruit a friend. Youth to youth recruitment is a great tool, and can’t you see a boy inviting his friends over to play his new game and the whole group getting excited about the program behind it?
