Thanks for the info “Tax-Chi “ : )
No fact is completely useless ...
I had my Cub Scouts out doing Sneaking this evening, because it’s an important Scouting skill. We pretended it was dark, and they had to try to get past the leaders in the woods without being heard. They tried really hard, but we could hear James’s pants cuffs rubbing together, and I could feel the boards move when a boy tried to cross the bridge. Very interesting exercise!
Baden-Powell got the idea for Boy Scouts when he had boys trying to creep through the lines during the siege of Mafeking in the Boer War.
