Approaching the Guard
Translation details

Section titled “Translated text”The instructor sends the scouts in different directions to places half a kilometer away from him. Then he waves a flag to signal the start of the game. At that moment, everyone drops to the ground and, hiding behind bushes or ground irregularities, sometimes moving stealthily, other times crawling, they approach him closer and closer. When the instructor gives a second signal with the flag, everyone stands up, approaches him, and delivers a report. In the meantime—that is, between the first and second flag signals—the instructor performs brief movements, such as sitting down, kneeling, looking through binoculars, removing his hat, waving his hat, wiping sweat from his forehead, sneezing, walking in circles, counting on his fingers, shading his eyes with his hand, clapping his hands, and the like. The scouts must observe, remember, and later recount all these movements to him upon their return.
Additionally, the instructor carefully scans all directions, and whenever he spots one of the scouts, he marks 2 minus points against them. During the report, the scout who correctly lists all the judge’s movements in order and observed from the closest distance receives 3 points.
To save time, the scouts can be given cards on which they write down the observed movements under their names.
