Shadowing

Equipment: None

Play: If you live in a large neighborhood, this Scout game is fun for elementary kids. It gets a 2 minute head start, and runs off through the neighborhood. Two "shadowers" follow him. After 2 minutes of pursuing It, one of the shadowers goes back to the group. The second shadower continues to pursue It, dropping pebbles as clues to guide the group in the direction It is going. When the first shadower returns to the group, he leads them to find It. It wins the game if he is not found within a certain period of time, based on the situation.
