Yes, our scout troop got to play once in a while.
It got the scouts so excited that it was hard to get through the rest of the meeting
It sucked for me, as a very skinny underweight boy. The bigger boys would go after the cute girls, pretend to try to capture them, and then “let them go”. But the only chance I had as a scrawny kid was outrunning them.
Gym kind of sucked in the 70s. My kids now do much more interesting and fun games.
