Instructions

See attached file for details. Preparation is marking map copies with where the Scout hut is and where the 'secret destination' is for each patrol. All should be approx the same walking distance away (20 minutes?) One secret destination per patrol. It is best if it is a specific building (e.g. station, school, playground, restaurant)
