2. Field uniform
3. Bring Hobbies and Crafts to exhibit, exchange and possibly sell to raise funds for their club.
4. Send teams for drill demonstrations
5. Prepare for various skills exercises

POINTS:
Pathfinder Clubs will be awarded points toward various standard awards, i.e. Gold, Silver, bronze.
Points will be awarded for:
1. Proper and neat presentation of dress uniform
2. Fulfilling various skills exercises according to a required standard, and in an allotted time
slot. (See Appendix Below for Skills exercises)
3. Execute, as a club, basic drill formations and commands in front of a live audience.

blanket/sack. When the knot is tied, he raises both hands as a signal to the
second in line to run forward and tie his rope to Pathfinder number 1, using
a SHEET BEND. Pathfinder 2 then runs back and touches off Pathfinder 3 in
line, who runs forward to tie his rope to that of Pathfinder number 2 using a
SQUARE KNOT. Pathfinder 3 runs back touching Pathfinder 4 who runs and
ties his rope to that of Pathfinder 3 with a FISHERMANS KNOT. Pathfinder 4
runs back and touches off Pathfinder 5 who runs forward and ties a SHEEP
SHANK in the rope of Pathfinder 4 shortening the rope. Pathfinder 5 runs back
to touch Pathfinder 6. Pathfinder 6 ties a BOWLINE with his own rope around
his waist and runs to tie his rope to that of Pathfinder 4 using a SHEETBEND.
Pathfinder 6 raises his hand and the whole team runs toward him then
together pull the joined ropes with Pathfinder 1 on the blanket/sack until the

TYPES OF FIRES

COUNCIL FIRE
The council fire was used by Native Americans
during their meetings (or councils). It is very much
like the log cabin fire except that more than two
logs are laid on each layer. Be careful not to lay
the logs too close to one another. Leave gaps of
at least one inch (2.5 cm) between each log to
allow air to circulate. Like the log cabin fire, the
council fire is very stable, and it falls into itself as it
burns, remaining within the fire ring. Unlike the log
cabin fire, the council fire lights easily as the main
fuel is located directly above the kindling and
tinder where convection will carry the flames. This
fire is hot, and will make a nice bed of coals for
cooking. It also uses a lot of fuel. This fire is
sometimes called a pyramid fire as well.

REFLECTOR FIRE
This fire can be used for baking. The fire itself can be
of any other form, and is placed in front of the reflector.
This fire is also good for getting oneself warm. If you sit
(or sleep) between the reflector and the fire, the side of
you facing the fire will be warmed directly, while the
reflector throws heat to the opposite side. Very toasty.
You will be making the reflector from logs, which
means the vertical members should be driven deeply
into the ground to support the weight of the horizontal
members. You can also use rocks to support them.

LOG CABIN FIRE

The log cabin is easy to lay, and it is fairly stable
as well. It is laid very much like a log cabin
(hence the name). It is somewhat difficult to light
though, as the fuel is off to the side of the tinder
and kindling. When it burns, it falls in on itself,
confining itself to the fire ring. It is also easy to
add more fuel and maintain a neat orderly fire.

Appendix 5 (Pg.1 of 2)
THE TEEPEE (WIGWAM) FIRE
The teepee fire is probably the most recognized
campfire. It is somewhat difficult to lay however, as
getting the logs to balance against one another can
be tricky. Sometimes the log pile will topple and upset
the kindling and tinder beneath, and you'll have to
start again from scratch. If necessary, you can lash
them together at the top with twine (but don't use a
synthetic rope such as nylon or polypropylene). Once
laid, the teepee fire is very easy to light, as
convection will take the flames right to the fuel.

CRANE FIRE
The Crane fire is a type of fire build to support a
hanging pot over a fire. You can make the crane in
various ways. A long stick with a weight on the back
propped over a log or rock will work fine. Feel free to
use whatever is handy for propping up a crane. A
large rock or two work as well as a log for this crane.

This crane on the left, allows for adjusting the heat

of cooking by raising or lowering the cooking pot over
the fire. By spiraling the piece of rope around the
large stick, you can raise and lower the pot by
twisting the stick to wind on more rope, or release
more rope. The tripod could also be a forked branch
driven into the ground

THE DOUBLE SUPPORT CRANE on

the left is supported on both sides of the
fire. It is a popular choice and provides a
stable crane. As seen on the right hand
forked branch, use a small pile of rocks to
hold the vertical supports where the
ground is too hard to drive in a branch.
