Your experience in the troop game
Each patrol lined up at the starting line. Two patrol participated in the game. Had a hudge for each patrol standing about 30 feet away holding a bucket with all the numbered papers in it. A scout runs to the judge draws out a paper and says the word of the scout law that it corresponds with.
I pulled the chit and I got the number 4 and said friendly. We got 20 points. Our opposition party got 15 points. We won the game.
The game was related to law and we were very confidents about the nine points of the laws.
