Divide the patrol into pairs. The chosen scout sits on the ground with eyes blindfolded. The terrain selected for this game must be covered with dry twigs, leaves, gravel, and small stones. The second scout, approaching cautiously from a distance of 20 metres, must cover this distance in 1½ minutes and touch the seated scout before being heard. Then, they switch roles: the one who approached becomes the blindfolded scout and vice versa. Before the game, remind participants of the 1. point of the Scout Law regarding honesty.
