A long rope

Game Description

This game needs a suitable building and some preparation work. You need a location above the playing area from which to suspend the rope, the best approach is to suspend an eyelet or carabiner from your chosen location and run the rope through it. This allows for adjustments.

Draw a circle centred around the rope. Attach a Scout to the end of the rope using suitable knots (or a climbing harness).

Each Patrol go into the circle and the spider attempts to catch them, If they are touched of go outside the circle then they are out. Decide on a time limit and maybe put two patrols in at once with the last member of each patrol going through to a final with all the other winners. The spider should only use him arms to catch the scouts (ie No kicking).
