Water billies

In a wooded situation, hide a number of billies filled with water. 
In a central place, have an empty billie for each team (normally we only have two teams as 
it works out best) 
The aim is to get more water in your team's billie than the others, and the tactics are to find 
the water sources without letting the other team know where the one(s) your team has 
found are. 
Team members have cups to transfer the water, and while they can obstruct the other 
team making them spill the contents, they can't get physical with them. 
At then end of the game, the team's billies are 'weighed' and the one with the most water is 
the winner. 
The leaders running it get the teams to sit down in a straight line in front of their billie. The 
leaders then swap billies (so the team which collected the most water has the leader with 
the *least* water in front of them.) 
The leaders then prove how much water there is in the billies (think about it) 
Surprisingly enough, even though at the second time, they know the leaders are going to 
throw the water over them, they all sit there waiting for it to happen. 
It has been known for the parents to get wet as well....
