 | Troop or Inter-Patrol |
| Requires compasses and measured course |
Use four Patrols or divide the Troop into four groups. Each group starts from a spot in the center of the field. Members of Group No. 1 walk N.E., No. 2 S.E., No. 3 S.W., and No. 4 N.W. Each group walks a specified distance around the sides of a square and finally returns to a spot as near its starting point as possible. The Patrol with most members near the starting point wins.
The length of each side of the square might be as much as a mile provided the territory is open and that no group will be required to travel through heavily wooded territory. Instruct leaders to see that every member uses compass directions and steps off distances.
Caution all Scouts to stop at the exact spot they are on when they reach the end of the measured distance on the last course.
