Spot Your Staves

Items:
Round labels

Directions:
This game is played in the same way as an ordinary paper chase, except that the hares are provided with a number of small circular gummed labels. Every time trail is dropped not more than two labels should be dropped with it. As soon as the trail is picked up by a hound, he blows his whistle. The other hounds immediately proceed to the spot and search for the two labels. When found they should be stuck on to the finder's staff, and at the end of the chase the Scout with the most labels wins. This tends to keep up the interest of the smaller Scouts who otherwise would soon be inclined to lag behind.
