About Capture the Flag

Capture the flag is a traditional outdoor game composed of two teams. The object of the game is to capture your opponent's flag. If caught in an opponents territory players are brought to jail and can only be saved by a teammate who can free them.

Capture the Flag History

It is believed that the game of capture flag finds its origins on the battle field. In the past, soldiers knew when the war was over when the enemy's flag was captured. It did not matter how many soldiers died or were captured, a war was not declared over until the flag was caught. During the American Civil War soldiers who were able to capture the enemy's flag or protect their own, were awarded the Medal of Honor. Children have been playing capture the flag in the boy scouts and at camp for over 60 years.

Capture the Flag Tips

Players should strategize with teammates to determine what players will attack the opponent's flag and which will defend the team's flag. Teams should have some attacking players pose as decoys to distract the opposing team. The flag should be hidden in a good spot away from enemy territory.
