A patrol exercise in the city. The entire patrol walks forward in single file, a few paces apart, one behind the other along one side of the street, then returns along the other side to the starting point. During this walk, each Scout pays close attention to all directions, and if anyone spots any irregularities, defects, crooked things, or incorrect arrangements, they immediately note everything down on a piece of paper. This could be a slanting shop sign, a poster stuck crookedly or crumpled, a broken window, overturned items in shop displays, and so on. Irregularities in moving vehicles are not taken into account at all, as they escape the final control of the judge. The one who spots the most crooked things collects marks. This game excellently trains the power of observation.
