bulletOutdoor Review for a Patrol

Divide the Patrol into two teams and let them improvise a flag for each team. Line up the teams facing each other on opposite sides of the field, in relay formation. Mark a spot in front of each team from which the players are to signal.

The Race

At the word "Go" the Scout at the head of each team runs to the marked spot half-way between the teams and in front of his opposing team where he calls out "A", and wigwags it. If he is correct, his opponents yell, "Right"; otherwise they yell, "Wrong." He then runs back, hands the flag to the Scout at the head of his team and goes to the end of the line. The next Scout calls "B" and sends it, and in this manner the entire alphabet is sent. Score 3 points for finishing first and 1 point for each letter sent correctly.
