[Customize!] Team values check-in
Each squad picks one value or commitment they want the team to take away from this outing, writes it on a napkin or notecard, and the squad lead reads it aloud. Take a photo with all the napkins held up in the centre. (Organisers: replace this with a specific team-values prompt if you have one.)
