Chapters usually don't do these anymore because liability insurers (particularly MJ - the one that insures most NPC groups) do not like scavenger hunts. While these seem innocent and fun, it doesn't take too much for someone to think it's funny to run the yarn out a window, down a staircase, around a blind corner... the possibilities are endless. Add a big group of excited women rushing/running to find their bugs and the propensity for injuries goes way up. Sadly we live in a litigious society so the question advisors and other volunteer leaders have to ask is whether there are avoidable dangers that can be prevented. It's easier to do a banker "no scavenger hunts" rule than to personally supervise an event to be assured it is reasonably risk-free.
