On damp sand or freshly turned earth, the patrol leaves footprints. Each marks their own track, after which everyone observes all the tracks for several minutes. Finally, one scout steps aside, and one of the remaining scouts walks a dozen or so steps, leaving tracks. The first scout must then identify who passed by and justify their judgment based on the track. Next, a second scout steps aside, and so on. This is the simplest way to learn to distinguish tracks.
