Descriptionhe classic Winter Camp sized game of Capture the Flag is back. Plays much like Capture the Flag except we add additional treasures to be stolen and if you're caught, it just costs your team points. After two hours of play, whichever has scored the most (or least) points is the winning team.
BasicsThis game is played with points.
Getting captured costs your team points.
Stealing a treasure earns you points.
Making a capture earns points.

Why is this something we want to do?Capture the Objective is a Scout favorite and scaling it up extends the life.
Variations:We have a lot of them.
Equipment List:Objects to serve as treasure.

Hole punch to mark captures.
ID card to get punched if caught.
