Patrol Teams Informal

Blackout Fun

Here are five ideas that can be made into patrol or troop games. Each idea requires blindfolding each contestant.

1. Correctly identify sudden sharp noise or series of noises made by dropping items, striking a match, pouring water, etc.

2. Walk a prescribed number of steps, turn around, and walk back to the exact starting place.

3. Prepare small cans with different ingredients, such as ground coffee, onions, cloves, mint, etc. Have the contestants identify ingredients by smell.

4. Pick up several objects observed at a distance of about 15 feet. (Have Scouts look at the objects before they are blindfolded.)

5. While blindfolded, have patrols write the names and addresses of all patrol members.
