Buddy System Game: 
Divide the den into pairs of scouts. Each pair is a separate team. Each player is given a bottle cap. Place a bucket half filled with water in the center of the playing area. Partners should hold onto the other Cub's belt, carrying the bottle cap in their free hand. A circle, 8 feet in diameter is drawn around the bucket.
At the leader's signal teams run to the bucket to fill their bottle caps with water. Both team members must be outside the circle to participate in the game's action which is splash other teams. Teams may keep refilling their bottle caps during the games except when the leader yells "Buddies." At this, no one may splash or refill, but everyone stops where they are and hold their arms high. Those caught splashing or refilling after "Buddies" is called, are out. Resume play until last team remains or time runs out.
