Lay a Trail
Thanks very much to Diana Giudice, who posted this game to the Guiding Mailing List!
Give each patrol a piece of paper and a pen, and two Popsicle sticks. Each patrol puts one Popsicle stick at the starting point of their trail. Then the girls make up their own compass trail, writing down the directions as they go: 25 paces N, 40 paces S, 10 paces NW, etc. etc. At the end of their directions, the girls place another Popsicle stick to mark the end.
The patrols can then swap their instructions, and follow another patrol's trail to find their Popsicle stick. The girls were told where the starting point was. This game could also be played in the dark with flashlights!
