| This Activity is meant for Boy Scouts. Decide for yourself if it is appropriate for your younger scouts or not. | |
| Required: | 30 foot rope per team |
| Notes: | knot tying speed |
| Your patrol was camping on a hill when a flood rolled in overnight. You are now stranded on a small island and none of you can swim. Except your fearless patrol leader! Have each patrol huddle together. Draw a circle around them to represent the island. Draw a line 20 feet away that is the shore and safety. This is the area over which the patrol must be rescued. Give each patrol leader a rope. On the signal, each patrol leader runs to the safe shore and throws the rope back to his patrol. One player ties a bowline around himself and is pulled across the flood. Once safe, he unties his knot, and rescues the next player. | |
