The youth are divided into two patrols or more. They are tasked with conducting reconnaissance of a bridge over a river situated in a forested area. These patrols are mutual enemies. Objective: each patrol must perform reconnaissance without being seen by the opposing patrol. To achieve this, patrols must survey the surrounding terrain before reaching the target and ensure they are not observed by other patrols.

Patrols are dispatched simultaneously from different points on the terrain, varying in distance from the reconnaissance target, or from a single point at intervals of 5—10 minutes.

The instructor should reach the reconnaissance target before the patrols arrive, conceal themselves nearby, and observe.

In their reports, patrols should include not only the bridge reconnaissance but also the time at which they spotted other patrols and details of their activities.

In all types of reconnaissance games, patrols must be informed of the time and place of assembly.
