Favorite Games
Now that the weather has dipped into single digits - Brrrr - I thought you might be able to use some indoor game ideas. These are some of the favorite games of our scouts for troop meetings that still get some action going.
Don't let your troop meetings get stagnant during the winter. Make sure evey meeting has some action for scouts to look forward to.

- Pinguard - a very active ball-throwing game that scouts will play for hours. It's the favorite Lock-In game and requires a large gym. Guardian is similar but requires less room.
- British Bulldog - the roughest game we play with a good chance of ripped clothes, bruises, and scrapes. It's an opportunity for the biggest guys to use their strength and weight.
- Hunker Down - one-on-one strength and balance contest. It doesn't take much room and can be used as a gathering activity before meetings.
- Crab Fights - simple physical game that pits patrols against each other. Rewards speed, strength, and balance.
- Kangaroo Wrestling - Another simple physical rough-n-tumble game that size matters less than balance. It's every 'kangaroo' for himself in a battle royal.
- Steal the Bacon - speed, memory, and fearlessness are needed in this fast-action game.
Don't let your troop meetings get stagnant during the winter. Make sure evey meeting has some action for scouts to look forward to.
