Games: Equipment Blindfolds Rules/Play
One
patrol leader is the
commander of his submarines. His job is to navigate as many subs as he
can
through a mine field in a set amount of time - 5 minutes per patrol is
a good
starting point. The opposing patrol leader sets up and manages his mine
field
to blow up the subs. Lay out a start line and finish line with the
minefield
between the two. The 'Mine' patrol leader tells each mine where to
stand in the
minefield. Then, each mine puts on a blindfold. The patrol leader
stands at the
starting line to shout directions as needed. All submarines stand at
the
starting line. Their patrol leader is at the finish line. The first
submarine
puts on a blindfold and listens to his patrol leader's directions. As
the
submarine is navigated through the mines, the 'Mine' patrol leader can
tell
specific mines to reach forward, back, left, or right to touch a sub.
The mines
cannot move their feet. When a sub is touched, it is destroyed, but the
mine is
still active. A destroyed sub removes his blindfold and leaves the game
field.
Scoring 1
point for each sub that gets through the mine maze. Balloon Aloft Game Equipment
Large
inflated balloon
for each patrol. Markers Rules/Play
Each
patrol draws a
patrol symbol on their balloon. In a
large play area, each patrol tries to keep their balloon in the air the
longest
Scoring

that has
their balloon for the longest in the air wins.
Tail Grab Equipment
Kerchiefs or bandanas. Tokens
Rules/Play
Define a play area depending on size of group. Give
each scout a token such as a penny or bean. Each scout puts his
kerchief
hanging out the back of his pants waist band or belt loop.Scouts spread
out
around the playing area. On 'Go' signal, each scout tries to take the
tail from
another scout while protecting his own tail. Once a scout has a tail in
hand,
he is 'safe' while he exchanges the tail for all of the scout's tokens.
The
scout that lost his tail takes his tail back and leaves the game. Once
the
exchange is made, the scout with tokens is fair game.
Scoring
The
winner is the scout with the most tokens when time is called. Trash Ball Equipment A wastebasket
and a ball –
Nerf, tennis etc. (Have more than one ball to speed the game up) Rules/Play Divide
players into patrols
or teams. Place chairs

points wins.
Amoeba Tag Equipment
None Rules/Play Out of a
large group, pick
one person to be the Amoeba. They will proceed to chase people around
and try
to tag them. A tagged person must link arms with whoever tagged them.

amoeba chain gets to 4 people, they split in half. If a person
leaves the designated boundaries, they are out. Scoring The last
person that
remains non-amoebafied wins. Ante Over Equipment A rubber

catches
the ball without letting it touch the ground, then they run around the
barrier,
and try to hit someone of the opposing team with it. The opposing team
is safe
if they run around to the other side of the barrier, and if they are
hit by the
ball, they must switch teams.

turns throwing the ball over, until everyone is on
one team.
Island Hopping Equipment Sheets of
paper for each player plus one extra. Rules/Play Line up pieces of paper. Have everyone stand on their pieces, leaving the extra one at the back. The scouts will then take the paper and pass it up to the front, allowing them to advance one piece of paper. This will continue until all scouts and pieces of paper are across the finish line. If a person touches the ground, then they drown, and the whole patrol/den has to go to the starting line without resetting their time. Scoring The
patrol/den that gets
across to the finish line the fastest, with all patrol/den members
alive, wins. Tape
Relay Equipment Pieces of
masking tape. Rules/Play

The target scout can move all parts of his body to dodge the throw - except his feet. If the scout is hit, he gets S otherwise the thrower gets S. Everyone gets back in a circle and whichever scout received a letter gets to throw the ball up for the next round. Scoring When a scout reaches S-P-U-D, he is out of the game.
