Report Copyright Infringement View in OSM UK

Description

This is a run around game designed to reinforce some of the ceremonies done in Beavers. A leader calls out a command and the Beavers must carry out the appropriate action. Think "Captains Coming". Can be turned into an elimination game if required by making the last beaver(s) to complete command sit out.
