Ambush
Report Copyright Infringement View in OSM UK
Description
2 team wide game, best played in large spaces with plenty of hiding areas, such as woods, campsites etc.
Resources
20 arrows to place on the floor, alternatively tracking symbols can be used with items found in situ.
Instructions
Split Scouts in 2 teams, Team A sets a trail using arrows for Team B to follow. Once Team A finds a good place to hide, they all do so, IN VIEW of their last arrow placement.
Team B wait for 5 minutes before following the trail, if they find Team A, they shout AMBUSH, and win the round, Team A must wait in their hiding place until any 1 member of Team B passes the last arrow that was set. If Team A are the first to call AMBUSH, the point goes to them.
The following team picks up the arrows as they go, and once the ambush has happened, the teams swap over.
Each arrow placed must be in view of the last, and 2 decoy arrows are allowed, to be used to point the chasing team in the wrong direction to buy time for the hiding team to set their ambush.
