• 4 Counters per person (red, blue green and yellow one of each colour.)
When the game starts the boys are given a set time 5 to 10 minutes in which they are allowed to trade. They trade in the following manner. A boy approaches another boy with a counter in his left fist, he does not show the other boy what colour he is holding. If they agree to trade then they give each other a counter taking care that they do not show the colour they are swapping (All trades are final). Any boys who do not wish to trade simply cross their arms, this indicates that they are not open for trading. After the trading period is ended you show the lads the stockmarket chart shown below and get the lads to add up their scores.
Stock Market Chart - Trading Chip Values
4 Red counters 100 points
4 Blue counters 80 points
4 Green counters 60 points
4 Yellow counters 50 points
3 of any colour 40 points
2 of any colour 15 points
Single Red 1 point
Single Blue 2 points
Single Green 4 points
Single yellow 5 points
After they have added up their scores and you have found out which scouts have the highest scores, collect the counters in and hand out one of each colour again to the scouts. Now play it again with the scouts knowing the values and see the difference in tactics. From time to time you could introduce jokers these are White counters. You place some of these on the table and the boys are told they can take them if they wish. The value of these is unknown until they add up the scores. You then tell them that they either get 10 extra points for each White counter they have or minus 10 for each White counter they hold, much like Bulls and Bears in the stock market.
You can decide if it is going to be a plus or a minus by either tossing a coin or rolling a dice.
