Instructions

Scouts form a circle. One Scout (The Robber), who is to rob the orchard is sent away. Whilst they are away one of the Scouts forming the circle is designated as the farmer. A piece of rag is placed in the centre of the circle. The Robber returns and walks round outside of circle. He may enter the circle at any point and snatch the rag. Farmer has to catch him as soon as he has touched the rag. The Robber with rag must leave the circle the same side as they entered it. The Robber is safe if they get to the edge of the circle without being caught. If caught, the Robber goes out again and a new Farmer is chosen. If not, the Farmer becomes the Robber and has to go out and a new Farmer is chosen.
