Description

Knowing there are various methods of communication, and when to use them are a key part of scouting.
We often use hand signals, without even realising we are doing it, and people also respond too. Here are some more we can use.

Instructions

Gather the patrol together and go through each of the signals, come up with a few more.
Discuss when silent hand signals may be used. Work out where and how, so for example, indoors out side, at night. Talk about the pitfalls and how to over come these.
Now put into practice the learning.
