Time: 10 minutes
Equipment: a chair for each Joey Scout
Purpose/Topic: variable (navigation, birds, parts of a boat)
AoPG: Physical, Intellectual

Form the chairs in a circle. Give each Joey Scout one of two to four different labels (eg. North/South/East/West, Bow/Stern/Port/Starboard, Pelican/Silver Gull/Albatross/Swan). A ‘collective’ label should also be used (Compass, Boat, Bird). A leader calls out each of the labels being used, and all Joey Scouts with that label change seats. If the collective label is called, all Joey Scouts change seats.
Regularly, one of the seats should be removed. Any Joey Scout who is without a seat sits out of the game.
