Flying Dutchman Game

This Game is meant for Cub Scouts.

Stand in circle facing inward holding hands.

Two scouts hold hands outside the circle and are the Flying Dutchman. They circle the world, looking for a harbor in which to rest.

As they walk around the circle, the Flying Dutchman slaps the handhold of two scouts. Those two scouts must leave the circle as a pair and run around the circle in the opposite direction as the Flying Dutchman.

Whichever pair reaches the opening again first, reaches safe harbor. The other pair is now the Flying Dutchman.
