Finders of Baden and Olave

During the Euro-Mini-Jam there is an ongoing game that we call “The Search for Olave Baden-Powell and Baden-Powell”.

The game revolves around two dolls that will be hidden around the campsite. The job is to look for these dolls in the international patrols. Every day during the flag ceremony those who have found the dolls and take good care of them exchange them for a reward.

Today it was Super Dolphins that found and kept Baden-Powell:
