Instructions

-The Scouts are divided into two teams- attackers and defenders.
-The defenders form a circle (the 'fort') holding hands and facing outwards
-They choose their captain who stands in the center
-The attackers surround the 'fort' and try to kick the ball in
- It may go through the legs of the defenders or over their heads
-If it does the latter, the captain may catch it and throw it out again (they must throw it out)
-Once the ball touches the ground inside the circle the defenders loose a point
-When three points are lost the fort is captured and the players change sided

Variation 1- You may wish to have more than one ball and more than one captain
Variation 2- You may wish to add a no-mans land around the circle to make it fairer on the fort
Timing- You may wish to add a time limit to each team if they are really good
Points- You may wish to give the fort back a point if the captain catches the ball
