Release the cork Skip has dropped his keys down the drain! Luckily, he has a large cork attached to the keyring so that they float when he is canoeing. You can see the cork down a drain pipe, but it is too narrow to reach in. Can you help Skip retrieve his keys using the items that are lying around?	Bridge the gap Oh no! Your hike has been disrupted by a very deep and dangerous river. Luckily, there are some stepping stones across and some fallen trees nearby. Can you get your entire Patrol and the fallen trees to the other side without getting wet? Anyone or anything that falls in the water will float away and wash up back where you started.
Spiders Web Australia's rare and deadly giant Scouteater spider has weaved its web across the path of your hike. Touching the threads will wake the spider and you might end up as lunch. Can every member of your Patrol make it through the web without touching the sides? Once one member has used a particular hole, it is best not to use it again because the spider is very sensitive to disturbances in the air around the web.	Dowse the flame A major forest fire is raging through the area and the firies have created an exclusion zone around the fire. As scientists working on a top secret cloud making project, you have a large water store hidden in the clouds that could be ruptured to put out the fire. Avoiding the exclusion zone to make sure your project is not revealed to the public, construct a giant rupturing device to burst the water store and save the day.
