Sleeping bags in stuff bags

Instructions

Split your section into teams and set up your space with a sleeping bag out of it's stuff bag for each team at one end and the teams at the other. Once the race starts, one member of the team has to run down and begin stuffing the sleeping bag. When a leader shouts change or blows a whistle they need to stop and run back down to their team, tagging the next person so they can have a go. The team to completely put their sleeping bag away is the winner.

ADAPTING FOR EACH SECTION
- Beavers will need a demonstration of what to do beforehand and maybe adult help during the race.
- Cubs could work in pairs, one holding the bag whilst the other stuffs.
- Scouts could practise with smaller expedition sized bags that need precision packing and compression.
- Explorer teams could have enough bags for a whole tent.
