Supply List

  • Neckerchief to use as blindfold
  • Tennis ball
  • Chair

Objective

Grab the treasure from the sleeping Steve without getting caught.

Set-Up

Create a circle 20 ft in diameter.  Place the chair in the middle of the circle.  Place the tennis ball under the chair.

Directions

Choose a Cub Scout, the denner if you have one, to be the guard.  The other Cub Scouts are the creepers.  The guard sits blindfolded on the chair, guarding the treasure (tennis ball).  The creepers start outside of the circle.  On a signal, the creepers advance as quietly as possible, trying to get close enough to steal the treasure without waking sleeping Steve.  When sleeping Steve hears an approaching creeper, he points a finger in that direction.  If his finger points at a creeper, that creeper is out. If a creeper succeeds in getting the treasure without being caught, they become Steve for the next game.
