The following challenge is not only fun for the Scouts, but is also a good way for you to assess their general knowledge of basic Scouting skills. Team Numbers Teams must be a minimum of 4. A good idea is to verbally tell the Scouts where the locations are when you give them the appropriate pieces of paper. The number of leaders you will need will depend upon how far apart the locations are.
Outdoor locations are best, especially as fire is involved in one of the tasks.
The following are the instructions and questions which should be given to the Scouts at each point. The various answers are at the end, though you can of course substitute your own Questions and Answers to suit whatever knowledge or skills you are assessing. Using 3 Scout Staves and Square lashings construct a framework as shown. Once this is done use the frame to carry at least 1 member of the Patrol to Location A - you may swap over the person who is being carried during the journey. At last you can stop carrying one of your Patrol.
