Application: Carry Relay

Divide the patrol into two teams. If there is not enough members have older scouts participate or have the patrol compete against its own time. Set up a start line and another approximately 25 yards away as a turning line. Have scouts practice one carry going down and one coming back. The first team to complete all four carries wins.
