(scouting has become a little to P.C., but I'm sure our boy leaders till go for it.) We give the boys 45 minutes of activity before we even start any meeting, and these challenges will be good. I think we will end with the butt boxing from Adam's comment above...I'm sure it will create more laughs than victors. As a Scoutmaster, I printed these off and it will be part of our next meeting.

Two players grab the staff, facing eachother, holding the staff at about belly button level. Then both players try to move the staff upward without letting it slide from their grip. The person who grips it tight enough to not rotate in their hands wins. There’s another great one with a staff (or broom).

There is nothing "manly" about any of this nonsense. Unless manly = bigger, since all of these contests favor the larger participant. LMAO. There is nothing “manly” about any of this nonsense.

Then we tried footboxing and broke the AC unit in our window. A game is only manly if things are easily broken during the process of the game. Now that we know that those games are most deffinatly manly, we will be taking them out to the hallway for now on... Who cares what our neighbors think.

Another undefeated Indian leg wrestling champ here...6'4" and a somewhere over 350 though in my fighting trim I was under 300. Another good test of overall strength and balance is a game I grew up calling Indian arm wrestling. It is similar to the standing arm wrestling, but instead of touching knees you set your right feet side by side, grasp right hands together in arm wrestling fashion, then on "go" try to make your opponent lose their balance. The first person to move either foot looses. On a personal note I am near undefeated in this one as well :D Great post.

We've had some epic battles, some lasting 15-20 minutes. There have been great war wounds and lots of grass stains. All in all, a great contest of strength. Just don't battle against a all-conference wrestler unless you're ready to spend the whole time on the ground.
