"Go Downs," also called Spell Downs, may be applied to many
subjects. Conducted as a "Nature Go Down," a specimen is shown or a
question asked the Scout at the head of the line. If he answers correctly he
keeps his position and a second specimen is shown to the second Scout, and so on until someone fails. The leader then says, "Go
down," and the Scout goes to the end of the line and the question to the
next Scout until it is answered correctly. In this manner the questioning is
carried down the entire line, then back again to the head for another round.
Tip
Under all circumstances Go Downs should follow instruction periods. They are
popular while resting on a hike, where they help clinch nature observations just
concluded.
