    Patrol Teams Informal Hike


    Winter Nest Hunt
    Equipment: None.

    Method: On a winter hike, a leader is assigned to travel with each patrol. Patrols start out from a given spot at 5-minute intervals. Patrol members keep on the lookout for bird nests. When one is spotted, they point it out so leaders may see it. The patrol then identifies the nest.

    Scoring: Score 5 points for each nest found. Score an additional 5 points for each nest that is properly identified.

    Variation: Nest Banding-Scouts wander over an area with definite boundaries. Each Scout has a piece of yarn-each patrol has a different color. Vlhen a nest is found it is "claimed" by tying a piece of yarn around a tree trunk or branch next to the nest. At the end of a given time, leaders determine how many nests each patrol has found.
