The game is about speed and accuracy.

Resources

Sufficient pennies to make a tower for each Lodge/Six/Patrol
Table to build the towers on
Bowl or other receptacle to hold the pennies

Instructions

Divide the pennies into how teams there are. Size of teams doesn't matter, as each can run multiple times until the tower is complete
Place a bowl of pennies in front of each team
One by one, each team members picks one penny from the bowl, then runs up to place the penny on the table on top of the others to make a tower of pennies
Each team member has only one placement per go, and cannot adjust the tower - so run up, put on, run back.
If the tower falls over the team can either be out, or can rebuild the tower one at a time again, this time running up, picking a penny from the collapsed pile and starting a new pile.
The winning team is the one which completes a tower first and fastest.
