Trails can be great fun and can be made from a variety of stuff like:-

• CD's - These can be great for use at night when torches can be used to find a message or code
• Sticks and stones - There are lots of ways in which sticks and stones can be used to make trails
• Coloured Ribbon - These can then be collected by another group for use at craft time
• Pens and numbers - Have a drawing that needs to be coloured in then place pens around the trail with a numbered pen. As the girls go around the course they colour in their drawing. Have a few different ways the picture can be coloured so that they don't cheat
