The Thurman Throw, named after Scouting’s own John Thurman, is a great game recommended by Walter Underwood
Equipment: For each patrol, a Scout stave or broomstick handle.
Procedure:
- The patrols line up in relay formation, with the patrol leader of each holding the stave about 5 feet in front of them.
- On signal, he tosses the stave to the first Scout in line, who tosses it back to him and ducks down.
- The patrol leader then tosses the stave to the second Scout, who catches it, tosses it back, ducks down, and so on through the line.
- The last Scout in line catches and tosses twice, and then it’s tossed to each Scout back down the line. Each Scout remains standing after this toss and catch.
Scoring: The first patrol with all players standing wins!

Wow, that is a great description.
The game has a great rhythm once you get it going.
It would be fun to have this for a classic game in each issue of Boy’s Life.
