We used to play British Bulldog in the cubs. However, one of our Cub Scout leaders, Steve was a proper sadist, or should that be improper sadist? No matter, the way we played it was to have one person who was the Bulldog and the rest of us had to be caught. The crowd gathered at one end of the Scout Hut and the Bulldog was in the middle, then we would all charge to the other side. The Bulldog had to catch somebody and then he would have a fellow to help assist in the capture of others.

If you're still with me you're probably wondering about the sadism. Simple, the Bulldog was tied up!

Jolly good character building! Oddly all of Steve's 'games' involved violence and bondage. The worse one was..well a story for another time perhaps.
