Mark off a large playing area.
Divide into 2 teams or each patrol is a team.
Referee keeps track of possession time.
Object: Keep the item in your team's possession for a set length of time (20, 30, 60 seconds).
Rules:
- The scout with the object avoids opposing players.
- If scout with object is tagged with 2 hands by opposing scout, he must immediately get rid of the object by dropping or throwing it.
- The scout can not directly receive the item after getting rid of it.
- If a teammate gets the item, time continues to accumulate for his team. If an opposing scout gets the object, time starts over at 0 for that team.
Be prepared to impose penalties for roughness, not getting rid of the item fast enough, or leaving the play area.
