GTO OUTDOOR TASKS

There are series of tests conducted. They are as follows:

1. Progressive group task (PGT)
2. Snake race
3. Lecturette
4. Half group task(HGT)

5. Individual obstacles
6. Command task
7. Final Group Task (FGT)

Snake race or Group Obstacle race

 The senior most GTO explains the rules of the task and the nature of the
obstacles to all the groups.
 A dummy snake is given to each group which they have to carry with
them all the time during the race.
 The whole group is required to run together with the snake. Individual

running is prohibited.
 The colour rule of the PGT also applies here. The snake should not touch
the ground and should be held by at least 3 group members when they
are on an obstacle.
 Otherwise the whole group must hold the snake when approaching one
obstacle from another.
 Each group is required to have a war cry for example BHARAT MATA KI
JAY , Durga mata ki Jai etc.

 The group must shout the war cry loudly in order to motivate its group
members and also to spook the rival group.
 A penalty in the form of time is imposed by the GTO if the group is found
to break any rule.
 The group which finishes first after bearing the time penalties (if any) is
declared the winner.
