5 CAMP WIDE EVENTS 1. The Red Hornet - At the Friday night SPL meeting red marbles will be given out. The object is to secretly pass the marbles to the pockets of someone else (boy or adult). Throughout Saturday, at each event, the boys will be reminded to check to see if they have been 'stung' by the "Red Hornet". If a marble is found on you, do not let anybody know you have it. Secretly pass it off as soon as you can. At the campfire the last people 'stung' will be brought forward. 2. "STRATEGO" Wide Game - This will be a night time game and will take place after the campfire. The rules are as follows, so all will be familiar with the game prior to Camporee. STRATEGO WIDE-AREA GAME Stratego is a wide game that can be played with two or more teams. Each player has a colored chit that identifies who he or she is in the game. We are giving you the game play rules early so that you will have every opportunity to study them and get to know the game before you play. Please follow all instructions immediately. The sooner you do what you need to do, the more time you will have to play. We will play the game after the Campfire Saturday night. All areas of the facility are fair play zones with the following exceptions: Buildings are Out of Bounds. Campsites are Out of Bounds. Car parks and equipment storage areas are Out of Bounds. You will be given a token for your team that the other teams will be attempting to capture. This token will be placed wherever your team decides to place its administrative area. (You don't want the other teams to know where this is.) Two adults will supervise your administrative area. Teams will be selected by counting off. Please co-operate with this process, because the sooner your teams are chosen the sooner we can begin. Your team's administrators (the two adults) will have a bag of chits for your team.

6 The Game Leader will give you a start command. From this point you have five minutes to hide your administration area and the two adult administrators. The token has to remain in the administrative area within 20 feet of the administrators, who are not allowed to move the position. Once the game begins, you are not allowed to move your administrative area. As soon as you are in position, you will reach into the administrators' bag to get your first chit. (Administrators will do something to make sure there is a fairly good mix of ranks for the start of the game.) You can use any spare time to come up with a strategy for finding the other administrative areas. The Game Leader will blow a whistle once. This is your signal that the game will begin in two minutes. When the whistle blows again, the game begins. The Game: You are trying to capture the tokens from opposing teams. You are also trying to gain points for your team by "capturing" other players. A "capture" begins when one player TAGS another. TACKLING IS NOT ALLOWED! When you tag a player from another team, both players show each other their chits. If you are "captured", you have to give up your chit. The Players: Each team will consist of the following players: 1 Field Marshall (15 points), 2 Generals (10 points ea.), 3 Colonels (9 points ea.), 4 Majors (8 points ea.), 6 Captains (7points ea.), 10 Lieutenants (6 points ea.), 15 Sergeants (5 points ea.), 25 Corporals (3 points ea.), 10 Engineers (2 points ea.), 40 Privates (1 point ea.), 5 Bombs (1 point ea.), 5 Spies (1 point ea.) "Capture" rules are: The higher number points "captures" the lower number points EXCEPT for the following: Any player except the FIELD MARSHALL can "capture" the SPY. The SPY "captures" the FIELD MARSHALL. The BOMB "captures" anyone except the ENGINEER. The ENGINEER "captures" the BOMB. When you are "captured", you give your chit to the other player. You DO NOT give up any chits you have "captured". If you have been "captured", you have to return to your administrative area for another chit. You are NOT allowed to try to find another team's administrative area while you do not have your own team's chit. Remember that you are trying VERY hard not to let anyone from another team know where your administrative area is and sneak back accordingly. You are OUT OF PLAY until you have another chit in hand. This means that you cannot chase other players while you do not have a chit (although you CAN allow them to waste time by chasing you).

7 When you return to your administrative area, turn in any "captured" chits to your administrators. Get a new chit and go out again. Remember that other teams will be trying to find your administrative areas by looking for the area everyone is coming from; plan your route back into play accordingly. If your administrators are out of chits, you are required to sit quietly in your administrative area until the game is over. If you find another team's administrative area and token: You take the token to the Game Leader immediately. (You have to have your own chit to be eligible to "capture" the token.) You are NOT allowed to put the token in a pocket. You MUST carry the token in your hands. The token is NOT to be removed from its packet. Token "Capture": If a player is "captured" while holding the token, the token must be given up with the chit. If you "recapture" your own token, you need to return it to your administrative area immediately. Again, you are not allowed to put the token in a pocket, you MUST carry it in your hands. If you "capture" someone who is carrying a token; you are allowed to take it to the Game Leader immediately. Ending the Game: The Game Leader will blow the whistle two times (two long blasts) to signal the end of the game. When this happens, all players and administrators return to the game start area immediately (on the RUN, guys!). The Game leader will end the game if: You are not playing by the rules ( A Scout is Trustworthy, and cheating will not be tolerated.) One of the Team Tokens is turned in. The game's time limit is reached. When you are all at Game Center, you are required to turn over the chits you have "captured", along with your own chit. All the "captured" chits are counted up to arrive at your total score for the game. Once counted, all the chits will be turned back to their teams. Once we have the scores figured out, we play again! The more time you dally, the less time you will have to play!
