Marble Ideas

How to play marbles:

Sometimes shooting marbles can be hard for the boys. To make it easier, have the boys aim a short piece of PVC pipe at the target, and roll a marble down the pipe. Experiment with different angels to increase the marble’s speed.

Marble Golf: (from “01 Baloo “Save it for Us” p. 3.)

This 9 hole golf course is laid out around the yard. Small tin cans are sunk into the ground. One to four players start

off and shoot marbles. They count the shots taken to get the marbles into the cans. Hazards may be small brushes, lengths of drain spouts, tubes through which the golfer must shoot, an upright 2 foot long board with a 4 inch hole. For a water hazard, sink a tin pie plate or other suitable container and fill with water. Use flags made from paper triangles glued to popsicle sticks. Golf rules should be observed in playing this game.

Crab Scuttle Game

This Game is meant for Cub Scouts.

Preparation:

Mark a start line and end line about 20 or 30 feet away.

Instructions:

Each patrol lines up at the start line. The first scout of the patrol bends over and puts his left hand between his legs to grasp the right hand of the scout behind him. They both run as best they can to the marker at the far end of the play area.

When the reach it, they do not turn, but go backwards until they reach the patrol. The second scout grabs the right hand of the next scout on the patrol with his left hand, and off the three scouts go.
This continues, picking up another scout, until the entire patrol (as one continuous line) runs up and back.

IQ, FQ, MQ Minute

http://www.boyscouttrail.com/content/minute/iq_fq_mq-310.asp

 

This Minute is meant for Boy Scouts.

Script:

You've all heard of an IQ - that is Intelligence Quotient. There are tests used to determine someone's IQ and then you have a rough idea of how 'intelligent' you are compared to the population.

Did you know we also have an FQ? That would be Fitness Quotient. Sure, when you do your Physical Fitness part of the Tenderfoot requirements or the Personal Fitness merit badge, you test yourself and then try to improve. You have a good idea where you fall on the FQ scale.

Another one that might be useful is the MQ - or Morality Quotient. Some way to measure a person's morals compared to the population. But, I guess that is best left between you and God. 

Be sure that you CAN work on improving your intelligence, fitness, and morals, though. There is always room to improve.

With an IQ, FQ, and MQ, we can measure the 3rd part of the Scout Oath - to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.

It's a good idea to occasionally test yourself to make sure you are still improving.
