The Scoutmaster invites a person unknown to the scouts to leave a trail without being seen by them. The scouts study this trail. Then, the Scoutmaster sends this same person among 8—10 others. Each of them passes by in turn, leaving a trail visible to the scouts. Finally, each scout in turn whispers to the Scoutmaster which of these 8—10 people left the original trail, indicating their place in the line of those passing by. The scout who answers correctly wins; if several answer correctly, the one who draws the best sketch of the trail from memory wins.
