Tag
One or two Scouts have a "bop-it". They are "it". They need to tag the other players. If you have been tagged, you need to stand still in the place you were tagged. For a competition, time the game to see how many get out in 5 minutes or how long it takes to get out the entire team.

Team tag
Same as tag, but all players have a bop-it. Should a player be tagged, another player on his side can untag him by bopping him on the head.

Zombie Scouts
Same as the above. But the player bopping his team member over the head then become tagged.

Cats v mice tag
All the Scouts have a bop-it. But only Cats can use the bop-it. Two Scouts are picked as Cats. They must continuously meow. The rest of the players are mice. They must continuously squeak. The cats need to tag the mice. If you have been tagged you turn from a mouse into a cat. You must then stop squeaking and start meowing. You can then tag the remaining mice.
