The Story

 The Sheriff and his men have been up to their usual tricks, taking all the hard earned money off the poor people of the village, whilst they are living in luxury. You have to get the money off the Sheriffs men to return it to the poor. Be careful who you meet on your journey. Avoid being caught by the Sheriff's men, otherwise they will cease any money you may have and arrest you. You may find some villagers on your journey who will be pleased to help you return their money to them!

 Rules

 Guides will need a bag of some sort (day sack?) per patrol as they will need to pick things up on the trail

 A) You have to disguise your patrol as Sheriffs men, so if you get caught you can pretend to be on the Sheriff's side. This may be tricky, but because the Sheriff has so many men you may be able to get away with it. All the Sheriff's men wear a special badge. Find out what the badge looks like and copy it. Guiders are wearing a badge with a design that Guides have to copy

When you have done this see if your disguise works by going to the Sheriffs Man who is sitting by the flagpole. He might give you some clues as to where the Sheriff's Den is. Don't let him know you're an outlaw or you will be arrested.

B) You may need some supplies for your journey but there are none left in the outlaws camp. You will have to go to the Sheriffs store tent. Sneak in and get your supplies, but don't let the Sheriff's men hear you!

C) There may not be very much water available on your journey. Make a 'Spitting Suzy' to carry your water in. When you have made her she will allow you to take some water with you but because it is such short supply she will only let it trickle out. Don't forget to fill her with enough water for for all of you!

D) You need to find where the Sheriffs men ave put all the money. Luckily they have forgotten to cover their tracks. Follow the trail to get to their hiding place. You may find useful things on the journey which the Sheriffs men have discarded. Pick these up.

 (find either - jam jar, candle, pole and string to make lantern with or tin can, candle, ingredients for batter to cook on the tin can AND a newspaper)

1. Find the Sheriffs Den.
2. Chose a place nearby to hide
3. Get the money from the Den and take it to your hiding place. Be careful you are not heard as the Sheriffs men may attack! (water pistols)
4. Fold your newspaper to the same sized as the money. Pack it into your hiding place
5. Hide the money in your clothing
6. Remove all traces that you have been in the hiding place.

Guiders to water pistol noisy guides!

F) Either  You are getting hungry. Use what you have gathered to make some pancakes (help is nearby) or if too difficult/time consuming It will soon be getting dark. Make a lantern to light your way through the woods

G) The smallest member of your group has hurt her (left) ankle, improvise a bandage and carry her to the next clue. To find the next clue walk X paces in a X direction.

H) (Guider /Ranger with Squash) You have met a villager who wants to thank you for helping them by offering you refreshments. She only has cordial. You will need to make some cups and ask Suzy for some water! The villager may be able to help you with find a safe route home.

I) The Sheriff's men are using sniffer dogs to find the thieves. You need to cross the river to throw them off your scent. Build a bridge to get you across the river. You will find help nearby.

J)The Sheriff's men have found you and you are under arrest. To raise the money for your release sing a song about your journey.

K) Maid Marion has asked you to collect some things for her on your journey. Find her 4 natural objects.

L) Congratulations! Take the money back to the camp so you can distribute it to the villagers!

M) The people of the village are so pleased you have returned their money they have made you tea! (More squash and biscuits)
