    Patrol Teams Relay

    Cannibal Rescue

    Equipment: One long rope for each patrol.

    Method: Have patrols line up in relay formation. Draw a chalk line in front of patrols and another line parallel to the first but about 20 feet away. Give the first Scout in each patrol a rope. Then tell this story: "You are fleeing from cannibals and have reached the bank of a wide river. Only one Scout in each patrol can swim. The rest of the patrol has to be pulled across with the help of a rope." On signal, the first Scout in each patrol runs (swims) to the other shore (chalk line) and throws one end to the rope back across to the second Scout in line. The second Scout ties a bowline around his waist and is pulled across to the other shore by the first Scout. Then the second Scout unties the rope, throws it to the next Scout in line, and repeats the performance. This continues until the whole patrol is safely across.

    Scoring: The first patrol to get all members across the river wins.
