Monkey in the Middle Game

6 or more scouts
a ball

Scouts form a circle from 12 to 30 feet in diameter depending on number of scouts. 'It' is inside the circle.
Players pass a ball around the circle preventing 'It' from touching it. If 'It' touches it, the last scout to touch it is now 'It'.

Variations:
With a larger group, have 2 'Its' and make the circle larger.
Have a 2nd circle outside the first one and players have to stay inside the ring to help keep players closer.
