The Scoutmaster sends a Scout as the “hare” on foot or by bicycle, with a bag of grain, nut shells, confetti, buttons, and the like, and instructs them to scatter a few of these small items here and there as a “trail” for the patrol that is chasing the hare. The hare may also mark their path with the patrol’s emblem, drawn in chalk on walls, poles, and the like. However, these signs must be erased by the “hounds” immediately after spotting them, for neatness and to avoid confusion on subsequent days.
