Instructions

Scout/cubs/bevers line up in pairs back to back in their sixes alternate so that in each pair one has a paper and pen the other has a torch.

The sixer will start facing their 6 with a torch the seconder will be at the end off the line with their pen and paper.

The sixer will flash a message in morse code, the receiving scout will write down the dots and dashes. When the sixer is finished they put down their torch. The receiving scout will then tap the shoulder of their partner who will flash their torch to the rytham of the taps while the next scout with paper writes down what they see. The message continues down the line until it is received by the seconder who will write down the dots and dashes and decode them. The six who's decoded message most closely matches the encoded message wins.
