Depending on how heavy the weight is, the game can get a little rough. Nevertheless, this game has become a firm favorite for meetings.

Each Scout has a knotting-rope, one end of which is made fast to the beam. Everyone, including the Spider, must keep hold of his own rope. When caught, the flies drop out. This is quite a subtle game. The whole secret, of course, lies in the cunning way in which the spider entangles his own rope with the others, while the flies skip nimbly to and fro to dodge him — and in so doing get their ropes hopelessly entangled.

All it requires is an overhead beam or tree branch, a blindfold, and a series of rope lengths. This game should be kept fast-paced. In the past, the skill of observation was much more heavily emphasized in Scouting than it is now. This is unfortunate, because observation is just as useful if not more so! It is a very simple game which can be played indoors during a meeting.

Take a thimble, ring, coin, bit of paper, or any small article, and place it where it is perfectly visible, but in a spot where it is not likely to be noticed. Let the Patrol come in and look for it. When one of the Scout sees it, he should go and quietly sit down without indicating to the others where it is. After a fair time he should be told to point it out to those who have not succeeded in finding it.

Not only can Scouts discover the object by simply looking for it, they can also get clues by observing the other Scouts. This game also has limitless possibilities for variations. Multiple items can be used; the items can be put in more or less discrete locations; and different rooms can be used. This is just one of many observation games which should be brought back into use by modern Scout Troops.

So many people go through life today in their own world without being aware of what is going on around them. So many accidents could be prevented, so much good could be done, if more people practiced and got into the habit of good observation. I hope you enjoyed reading about these historical Scout games. Try them out in your own Troop!

The traditional Scouting program that the Scouts of the past practiced offers many solutions for the same difficulties we face in modern Scouting.

Scout Meetings boring? Lackluster rank advancement?
