Wheel Relay Game
This Game is meant for Cub Scouts.
Required:
1 pinecone, rock, beanbag, or tennis ball per patrol
Instructions:
Each patrol leader stands next to a central tree (or chair if inside), places their left hand on the tree, and holds a pinecone in their right hand.
Each patrol lines up behind their leader, facing the center. This should create a star shape of patrol lines. Imagine these are spokes of a wheel - you might even scratch a circle in the dirt around the patrols.
On "GO" signal, every patrol leader runs down the right-hand side of their patrol line, then turns clockwise, runs all the way around the wheel and back to the end of their line.
While the patrol leader is doing this, the rest of the patrol step toward the center so the first in line has their left hand on the tree.
When the runner reaches their patrol line, they pass the pinecone scout to scout up to the first in line who has their hand on the tree. Once this scout has the pinecone, they run the loop.
First patrol to get their leader back to the tree, wins.
You might have some scouts run twice to even out the patrols.
