This was an attempt to do the old Great Escape we use to do that was an all night event. Scoped out a place with the right physical boundaries needed for an even in the dark. We invited the Willow Park Venturers to play the part of the German's. The scouts were of course the escaping allied prisoners.
The routes were laid out with about 10 check points. We definitely needed more adult support but for the trial it was OK. After the event we found that having many more light sources was a necessity. The use of Cell phones certainly was ingenious by the older boys. Definitely will work this into the full event for next year.

Look, dog poop! |
OK, 3 dog biscuits if you can find my lost runner, but that's my final
offer. |
How was I to know he was going to run right out of his shoes? |
So have those scouts past this checkpoint area yet? |
Code red here boy, they're running over the bridge. Over and out. |
Should we send in the dogs to pick up the stragglers? |
Only 1 leader missing, Ok we'll wait. |
Game over already. Definitely need all night for this. |
