INSTRUCTIVE SCOUT GAME.
Compass and Trailing.

Two or three scouts with a compass, signal flags and paper and pencils start off in line agreed upon, say due east. The main body, or trackers, follows in three or i've minutes as the case may De. Somewhere along the first line of direction the trail makers plant a flag and deposit a message on which a compass direction is placed. They may read 'Go 30 paceS N.N.W. for our trail,' or any other direction the trail makers desire. At this new point the trail begins. Scout signs of all kinds are now put into use by the trail makers to mark their trail, such as the arrow drawn on the ground, the stone signs to turn to right or left, or weeds bent over to point the way. At certain places along the trail compass directions may be used by drawing the scout sign letter hidden three paces from here in direction of arrow" A note hidden in this way will repeat something similar to the first direction as "Go 45 paces due s.
 After a trail has been made for a suitable distance the trail makers may place a note stating that they are hidden 40 paces S.S.W." Cor as they wish).
 It is the duty, of course, of the main body to follow the trail and find their opponents. No corners may be cut, even if the trail makers are seen ahead. The trail must be followed as closely as possible. If desired, the notes found along the way may count points for the pursuers, or, if missed, against them.
 This game may be varied to suit the conditions or players. It would be wise also to impress upon the trail makers
