Cubs, Scouts & Explorers

The activity starts at a central meeting place and the leader gives a briefing. The group splits into two teams and the first challenge for each team is to lay a trail of tracking signs for the other group to follow into the “Hiding Area”. Then one member of the team is chosen to hide and is camouflaged using equipment provided and natural materials. The teams now follow each other’s tracking signs and attempt to find the camouflaged person. Who will be found?

Pioneering can be used for constructing small items such as camp gadgets up to larger structures such as bridges and towers. These may be recreational, decorative, or functional.
