The camp planning desk has lost its complete flag code. Match the helpers, repair the supply record and decode the lantern message so the paper camp can open. Collect five named badge digits and use the final sheet. Every clue is on the table; ask the host for one hint at a time.
Before you start Print one player pack and two record sheets per team. Keep the host answers and all three hint levels with the adult. Keep every clue as a full sheet at one table. Put the final sheet face down until all five results are recorded. Nothing needs cutting, folding or hiding. Give each child a pencil. Choose a reader, recorder and checker, and swap jobs after each clue. Use one team for 2–4 children or two teams for 5–6.

Reveal host answer 1
Wren has Map; Lark has Lamp; Finch has Flag. Lark's item gives 1.
2. Supply Mark this clue completeHint 1 The missing amount is a return into stock. The cancelled delivery never happened.
Hint 2 Start with 9. Apply +2 then -2. Ignore the cancelled +7.
Hint 3 The known entries leave 9. How much must return to reach the closing stock of 11?
Reveal host answer 2
Known stock: 9 + 2 - 2 = 9. Closing stock 11 minus 9 gives the missing return 2. Cancelled +7 never arrived.

The decoded word is CAMP; its row gives 5.
