Subject: INTRODUCTION
This file contains a number of games collected on rec.scouting,
misc.kids and scouts-l, for your pack, den or troop activities. Due to
its size, this FAQ has been split into 3 separate postings.
If you know a good game that hasn't been included in this FAQ, please
do all of us a favour and post it on rec.scouting. Sending copies to
Bill Nelson <nelsonb@aztec.asu.edu>
will ensure that it gets included in this file.
For U.S. readers, the SCOUTS-L games use British Scout terms. A
'Sixer' is a den or patrol, clothes pegs are clothes pins, and a 'bat'
is a long, flat Cricket bat. If anyone spots other terms they're not
familiar with, please let me know and I'll add it to this explanation!

Subject: GAME BOOKS
4.1 BSA CUB SCOUT LEADER HOW-TO BOOK
The "BSA Cub Scout Leader How-To Book" It is built to help the cub
scout pack and den leaders running programs that kids enjoy A section
of 50 pages is dedicated to games ISBN 0-8395-3831-6.
4.2 GAMES FOR GIRL SCOUTS
GSUSA publishes a book called "Games for Girl Scouts" which has helped
me out in a pinch. The book is divided into sections such as "Travel
Games", "Quiet Indoor Games", "Relays", etc. I believe it only costs
11 US dollars, and is available through the office of most Girl Scout
councils. If anyone outside of the US is interested in getting copies
of it, I'd be willing to act as a 3rd party. I don't know how easy it
would be for someone in another country to get a GS council office to
ship them a book! I wish I could give you more info on the book and
some examples of games, but one of the girls in my troop borrowed it
(that should tell you something--they love it!).
This book can be ordered directly from the National Equipment Service.

4.3 INDOOR GAMES FOR SCOUTS
I don't know how useful this info is, but I have a very nice little
hardcover book called "Indoor Games for Scouts". Unfortunately, it was
published in 1951, and mine is the 6th printing (1965). Whether it's
still available seems unlikely. This is a British book, part of 'The
New "GILCRAFT" series - Number Two'. The publisher is C Arthur Pearson
Ltd., Tower House, Southhampton St, Strand London. If anyone discovers
that this book IS still available, please contact me at the above
address.
