Continued play on 20th century and alternate name

[edit]

The rules for "Duck on a rock" are included in the 1912 edition of Boy Scout Handbook, the youth guidebook for Boy Scouts of America. Presumably it was present in the original 1910 edition as well. https://books.google.com/books?id=a7I2AAAAMAAJ&pg=PA304

Those rules originate from one of the progenitors of BSA, the Woodcraft League or Woodcraft Indians, which was founded by Ernest Thompson Seton, BSA's co-founder. In the 1907 edition of the Birch-bark Roll of Woodcraft, the game is presented as "Rat-on-his-lodge", with identical rules. https://ia800506.us.archive.org/33/items/birchbarkrollofw00seto/birchbarkrollofw00seto.pdf Roket (talk) 16:08, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
