XXVI " POINT TO POINT "
This is a form of Patrol Competition in which each Scout is required to make an individual effort.
One Scout from each Patrol sets out at intervals of one minute round a circular course covering 12 Points, at

Each " Point " will be manned by a Scouter or Rover (if necessary, the boys could go twice round the course, in which event each Scouter would cover two " Points," e.g. I and 7, 2 and 8, and so on).
The competitors will be issued with record cards, on which their score is marked. If a player fails at any, Point " he is sent to a central base for " running relmrs
