Activity to teach Scouts basic Morse CodeMorse Code sheet, Storm lanterns, torchesSplit each patrol in half. Give each group a Morse Code sheet, pen, paper and a phrase that they have to transmit (The Scout Laws are good for this). Give them time to encode their message and practice, about 10-15 minutes. Take the Scouts out to a dark field and give each group a storm lantern and something to cover it with. (Perhaps an A3 bit of card). Each half-patrol then transmits their message to the other whilst they try to decode the message. Then go back inside and see if any of the messages were sent/received correctly! Activity could also be done indoors if dark enough or with torches/whistles etc.- morse codeThis activity doesn't complete any badge requirements
