68 "I have gone home."

"I've gone home!"

(Signed) Patrol Leader.

At night sticks with a wisp of grass round them or stones should be laid on the road in similar forms so that they can be felt with the hand.

[Practise this.]

Signals and Signs

When a Captain wants to call her Scouts together she sounds her whistle. Then they double to the Captain.

Whistle signals are there:—

One long blast means "Halt," "Silence," "Alert," "Look out for my next signal," or "Cease." (Stop what you're doing, look out for next command.)

A succession of long, slow blasts means "Go out," "Get farther away," or "Advance," "Extend," "Scatter."

A succession of short, sharp blasts means "Rally," "Close in," "Come together," "Fall in."

A succession of short and long blasts alternately means "Alarm," "Look out," "Be ready," "Man your alarm posts."

Three short blasts followed by one long one from Scout Captain calls up the patrol leaders—that is, "Leaders come here!"
