In this exercise, individual scouts are positioned at a distance of 30 meters from one another and instructed to place their staff on the ground in the direction where they have found north—or south—without the aid of tools, then step back 6 paces. The judge then compares the marked directions with a compass, and whoever comes closest to the actual truth wins. This game should be repeated both by day and by night.
