====== Scouting Games ======
Since Alexander has started with the local Beaver colony (5th Reigate, based in Merstham) I have been helping as an assistant leader (going under the nom de guerre 'Hawkeye'). These are the write-ups of some of the games that I have either played with the Beavers, or which I remember from my teenage years when I was an adult instructor with the 1st Glen Lusset's cubs and scouts. 

===== Relay Races =====
One of the primary sorts of games are relay races with the beavers/cubs/scouts split into even sized groups. 
  * [[relay#crackers]] - needs cream crackers and balloons (one per participant)
  * [[relay#penguins]] - needs one bean bag per team
  * [[relay#centipede]] - no props required

===== Circle Games =====
As the title suggests, games where the beavers/cubs/scouts sit in a circle. 
  * [[circle#geese]]
  * [[circle#chinese_whispers|Chinese Whispers]]
  * [[circle#keys]]
  * [[circle#catch_/_don't_catch|Catch / Don't Catch]]

===== Other Games =====
Some other games, not involving racing within teams.
  * [[other#kim|Kim's Game]] - an old classic from Kipling, needs about a dozen random objects and a cloth to cover them up
  * [[other#sweeties]] - needs dolly mixtures or similar sweets
  *
