    Silver Dollar Hunt

    Equipment: For each participant, one orienteering compass, one fake "silver dollar" (3-inch circle from tin can top), one card with distances and directions such as "50 steps X degrees (X being less than 120 degrees)-50 steps X + 120 degrees-50 steps X + 240 degrees."

    Method: Scatter participants over a field with fairly tall grass. Place a "silver dollar" at the feet of each Scout. On the signal "Go," each Scout sets his compass for the direction on his card and walks the specified distance. The same is done for second and third bearings. When done, the "silver dollar" should be at his feet (or at least within his immediate sight).

    Scoring: The patrol with the most Scouts winding up within 71/z steps of their "silver dollars" (5 percent error) wins.
