The Scoutmaster positions the scouts at a distance of 30 paces from one another. Each then places their staff on the ground in the position they believe to be exactly north-south, without using any instrument, and steps back three paces from the staff. The Scoutmaster compares the placement of the staffs with a compass; the scout who is closest to the truth wins. This game should be practiced on sunny days, cloudy days, and at night.
