  • 10 orange sports cones 
  • Youth-sized soccer ball 

Keep the rules of this soccer game simple.  Some youth may play on a team and want to play by other rules. The purpose of this activity is for the Cub Scouts and adult partners to be active and play the game following the values of the Scout Oath and Scout Law. 

Before the meeting: 

  1. Prepare the soccer field that is free of obstacles and place four orange sports cones to make a rectangle that is 45ft. by 75ft.  or 75ft. by 105ft.  
  2. Place two cones, one on each end of the field, to designate the middle of the field. 
  3. Place two cones on each end that are 6ft. wide apart to form the goals. 

During the meeting: 

  1. Gather the Cub Scouts and adult partners to explain the rules of soccer and discuss good sportsmanship. 
  2. Ask the Cub Scouts and adult partners what parts of the Scout Law are important to keep in mind when playing a game. 
  3. The objective is to get the ball in the opposing teams goal. 
  4. You may not touch the ball with your hands.  There will be no goalie in this game.  Someone may defend the goal, but they may not use their hands. 
  5. If the ball goes out of bounds the team that did not touch it last gets to throw the ball back into play. 
  6. When a goal is scored the ball will be placed in the middle of the field and the team that did not score the goal gets to kick off. 
  7. Tripping, kicking, or pushing other players is not allowed.   
  8. Divide the den into two teams including adult partners.
