Go Cart

(One participant is on hands and knees as the 'Go Cart')

Driver : Oh, this fool Go Cart is always giving me trouble ! Now the front wheel has come off. (Selects member of audience) Would you come over and give me a hand. Thanks. (Selected person may have some comments to respond to - then they are led to the cart.)

Driver : Here, if you would just be the wheel I need. That's right, get down on your hands and knees up there and be the front wheel. Now let me try it again. (Driver gets on car, tries to start it up.)

Go Cart: (Makes sputtering noises, starts, moves forward, then sags and sputters out.)

Driver : Now what is it ? (Driver moves to rear, lifts cart, lets go and cart sags again.) Now that old suspension has gone, I need more help. (Selects someone else) Please come over here and be the suspension. That's right, just hold the back end up there. Now I'll try it again. (Gets on car, starts engine.)

Go Cart: (Sputters to life, moves forward, wobbles, and stops)

Driver : (Getting off) Oh, no. Now the rear wheel is loose. I'll go and get more help. (Selects more help) (New help is positioned at rear wheel.) This wheel is loose. If you will just hold the wheel (indicates leg) tightly so it doesn't fall off, you'll be a big help. Thanks. (Driver gets on cart, starts engine)

Go Cart: (Starts up, runs fine, moves forward)

Driver : (Braking to halt) Oh, that's perfect now ! All I needed was a few NUTS to get it going!

Scouting Spirit

Tune: "Joy in My Heart"

I've got that Scouting spirit,
Up in my head,
Up in my head,
Up in my head,
I've got that Scouting spirit,
Up in my head,
Up in my head to stay.

I've got that Scouting spirit,
Deep in my heart
continue as in first verse

I've got that Scouting spirit,
Down in my feet
continue as in first verse

I've got that Scouting spirit,
All over me
continue as in first verse

I've got that Scouting spirit,
Up in my head,
Deep in my heart,
Down in my feet,
I've got that Scouting spirit,
All over me,,
All over me to stay.

Giants, Elfs, and Wizards Game
Preparation:	Set up a playing area with safe zones marked at each end, about 60 feet apart.
Notes:	This is a team version of Rock, Paper, Scissors.
Instructions:	Teach everyone the following three characters: Giant - Tip-toes, raise hands above head, curl fingers, growling sounds Wizard - Crouch slightly, wave and point a magic wand, shouting 'kazaam!' Elf - On haunches, hands cupped for big ears, shrill screeching noises Give scouts practice by calling out the characters and having them do the actions. Split the group into two teams, keep patrols together if possible. Each team huddles to decide on character. Teams line up facing each other at midfield with about 5 feet between teams. On signal, each team strikes pose for their character. Whichever team 'wins' chases the other team back to their safe zone. Those that are tagged join the chasing team. Giant squishes Elf Wizard zaps Giant Elf shoots Wizard with a bow Each team huddles to determine new character and repeat until all scouts are on the same team.
