The Scoutmaster takes on the role of the game. He does not hide but stands and moves slightly from time to time. Scouts go on the hunt, and each tries to approach the game without being noticed. As soon as the Scoutmaster spots a scout, he orders him to stand still (removes him from the game). After some time, the Scoutmaster announces “end”; everyone stands up where they have reached. The one who approached the closest wins. The same game can be practiced for training in Silent Stepping, with the Scoutmaster’s eyes blindfolded. This variant is best organized in a place where dry leaves, branches, gravel, and the like make quiet walking difficult. Scouts approach within a distance of some 100 meters and must, in a short time, for example, 1½ minutes, touch the blindfolded enemy before he hears them.
