Instructions

Leader sets out a course. One of the pair is blindfolded, the other guides (suggest holding hands for Squirrels) and gives directions.

Suggestion for simple Squirrel course: Between two markers, around another marker and back through a held hoop before returning to start/finish line

Suggestion for Scout course: Scramble Nets, Football around cones, Head on a stick and spin etc...

For older scouts and Explorers, you can expand it further by having more people in a team with only one that can see, or to make the seeing scout unable to move, and can only use non verbal communication (sheep dog calls, etc)
