Flag Raiding
Two or more patrols on each side.
Each side will form an outpost within a given tract of country to protect three flags (or at night three lanterns two feet above ground), planted not less than two hundred yards (one hundred yards at night) from it. The protecting outpost will be posted in concealment either all together or spread out in pairs. It will then send out scouts to discover the enemy's position. When these have found out where the outpost is, they try to creep round out of sight till they can get to the flags and bring them away to their own line. One scout may not take away more than one flag.
This is the general position of a patrol on such an outpost:
| Pair of Scouts | Pair of Scouts | Pair of Scouts |
| Patrol Leader | ||
| P. P. P. | ||
| Flags |
Any scout coming within fifty yards of a stronger party will be put out of action if seen by the enemy; if he can creep by without being seen it is all right.
