Cub Scout Marble Tournament 2007The Aquila District Cub Scout Marble Tournament held on February 3rd was awesome! It was held in the Burien LDS Church gym, which is a very nice facility. Scouts from eleven Packs throughout the Aquila District showed up to play seven games of Ringer. Aside from the fierce marble action, it was a nice chance to meet and talk with folks from other Packs in the area. Ringer is one of the most popular competitive marble games. The Scouts took turns trying to knock out as many marbles as they could in each of the games which lasted five minutes or until all marbles were knocked out, whichever came first. The three boys in each Den (district-wide) with the most marbles at the end of seven games, each walked home with a trophy. Even if they didn't win a trophy, the Scouts played "for keeps" so they added to their personal marble collections, and the activity segments look very cool! Here are a few shots from the tournament floor:
