  • Neckerchief for each buddy pair

Before the meeting: 

  1. Identify a good starting point and finish line for the race. 
  2. Ask another adult/den chief to stand at the finish line. 

During the meeting: 

  1. Pair Cub Scouts off so each has a buddy and ask them to remember their buddy. 
  2. Give one Cub Scout of each buddy pair a neckerchief. 
  3. Ask Cub Scouts to skip and hop around the meeting space to separate from their buddy. 
  4. Have an adult/den chief stand at the finish line. 
  5. Explain the directions of the game. When Cub Scouts hear “Go!” they find their buddy, run to the starting line, tie their neckerchief around their ankles, and run/walk to the finish line. 
  6. Stand at the start line. 
  7. Yell “Go!” 

Tip: Help Cub Scouts that may have a challenge tying their neckerchief around their ankles.
