Find the Icicles
Prep Work:
Cut yarn into differing lengths.
Hide it around the room.
The Game:
Tell the boys to find the "icicles".
After they are all found, have the boys line them up end to end to see who found the most.
(Hint: use uncut yarn to measure the boys' strands.)
It sounds incredibly simple and it is. But the boys really enjoyed it!

Ski Glove Relay
Items Needed:
big bulky ski gloves
small wrapped candy (like Starbursts)
dice
Prep Work:
None
The Game:
Scouts sit in a circle with candy and gloves in the middle. Each scout will roll the dice. If they roll a number in your troop number they get to put on the gloves and unwrap the candy. The dice continue around the circle. When the next boy rolls a number in your troop number he grabs the gloves and begins unwrapping a new candy.
Variation:
Relay Race: Form 2 teams, sitting in a line. The first person in each team puts on the gloves, unwraps the candy, puts it in his mouth and passes the gloves over his head. This action repeats until all the scouts have a candy. The first team finished wins! (And gets to pick up all the wrappers....)

Ring the Reindeer
Items Needed:
5 cheap paper plates
Santa Hat or Red clown nose (optional)
Prep Work:
Make rings from the paper plates. Cut a hole in the center of the each of the paper plates, making it as big as possible without getting too close to the edge.
The Game:
Pick 1 person to be the Reindeer. Let him wear the Santa hat or Red Clown nose. Have him sit on the floor about 5 ft away from the rest of the boys and raise his arms up straight in the air, forming a "v". These are his "antlers". Line other scouts up and let them take turns trying to throw the rings around the "reindeer's antlers". Switch places after everyone has had a turn or if a scout succeeds in ringing the antlers.
