First Class Relay Game

This Game is meant for Scouts BSA.

pole per patrol
rope per patrol
kerchief per patrol
ace bandage per patrol
One adult per patrol as judge.

Good reinforcement of skills required for First Class.
Also a good review for older scouts since they tend to forget quite a bit without review.

This is a relay between patrols to demonstrate First Class skills and knowledge.

The adult assigned to each patrol positions himself 10, 20, or 30 feet from the patrol. He has a list of Tenderfoot, 2nd Class, and 1st Class questions. Tenderfoot are worth 10 points, 2nd are worth 15, and 1st are worth 20.

At the signal, each patrol leader runs to their patrol's judge and tells him what level question is wanted - Tenderfoot, 2nd, or 1st. The judge asks for a skill demonstration or answer to a question from that category. If the scout is successful, the judge checks off the question and the scout runs back to tag the next scout. If the scout is incorrect, the skill is not checked off and no points are earned.

After a set time limit, the patrol with the most points wins. Or, the patrol to answer all questions first wins.
