(Gilcraft 21/49). The patrol sits in a circle on the floor, each with a drawn number.

In the center, the patrol leader holds a stick upright with a finger—at some point, they call out a number and remove their finger. The called scout must catch the stick before it falls. Instead of numbers, bird or animal names can be drawn; in this case, besides catching the stick, the scout must also make the cry of the given bird or animal. Whoever fails loses a point; whoever loses 3 points is eliminated from the game, and the last remaining wins.
