7:30pmGame: Boat to Brownsea Island

The First Scout Camp was on Brownsea Island in 1907

Draw a boat shape on the floor. Pack ‘swims’ around until ‘Shark Attack’ is called and the pack must fit into the boat. Pack returns to swimming and a large ‘shark bite’ is taken out of the boat. Shark Attack is again called – any Cub who cannot fit within the boat is out. Continue until two winners (last two) are found. Note: Last two is about encouraging teamwork in staying on the boat.
