| (adapted from "Troop Program Resources") |
| Equipment: Two blocks of wood or matchboxes (the "treasure") |
| Procedure: A blindfolded Scout from one patrol becomes the "sleeping pirate" and sits on a chair in the middle of the playing area. At his feet is the treasure that he is defending. The Scouts form a wide circle around the pirate. On signal, they try to sneak in and pick up the treasure without being caught. The sleeping pirate catches Scouts who have made noise by pointing to them. If a Scout is pointed at, he must go back and start from the beginning. Each player has two tries. Only one block (or matchbox) can be captured at a time. |
| Scoring: Score 10 points for each treasure successfully captured. |
| Note: Use two pirates seated back to back, and more blocks, if the group is large. |
